Determination is all that one needs
To become a failure no more
He that loves all will turn from you
At the great table you shall not sit
But, a failure no more
Water crashes upon the ground
Heat sears your body, then slowly you cool
The movie starts as the lid descends
Thoughts slow, your questions fade
Dropping fast yet nothing moves
Darkness falls - bring it's solitude
Freedom is near calling to you
The chains your parents put you in unfasten
An empty shell is left behind
Thanatos wraps you in his strong arms
"My child what took you so long"
The movie ends - the blade falls
