If you want to see the brave, look at those who can forgive. If you want to see the heroic, look at those who can love in return for hatred.

Echoes of judgmental voices I heard even in my sleep.
"Your kindness is fake, Brother."
"Whatever you say, it is not right, Prince."
"Your justice is manipulative, Emperor."
"Whatever you do, it is not enough, Gambler."
What exactly did I do to deserve these encomiums?Like a phoenix from the ashes, they may defeat you, burn you, insult you, injure you, and abandon you. But they will not, shall not, and cannot destroy you.

"I took a chance, I took a shot
And you may think I'm bullet-proof,
but I'm not. You took a swing,
I took it hard. And down here from the ground
I see who you are"And now, born from the ashes, she's a warrior in bloodied black.

"In a world full of war and hate
He is my temple and he is my religion
Scared yet spirited - as he is my power
The demons I had slayed and spared for him
I can't help but fall into the depths of him"Her power lay in her silent sacrifice, moon-like smile, yet her kindness was considered her weakness, her silence her cowardice, but still she was the ever shining sun.
