Broken Crown
In darkness I am trapped somehow,
Though shadows do not scare me now,
I’ll brace and bloom like no one else,
A flame in my heart no dark can erase,
I crawl my way through endless nights,
Still, this heart radiates the light,
As hours breathe into the days I see,
Time tests me and my destiny,
Still hope stays strong, head held high,
Since this is a game of do or die,
I choose a slow and graceful dance,
Where weakness never stood a chance,
And though the sorrows drag me down,
I’ll one day wear a broken crown,
Neither gold nor diamonds set apart,
A crown built with broken pieces of my heart...
