The day I found out how much I could grow from heartbreak
Was the day i subconsciously began destroying myself
With each thud a new ache
And with each new ache i climbed to a higher shelf
However this bookcase
Seems to go on and on like that belch
That, as a kid, i always wanted
But like leonidas i will continue my ascent undaunted
I'll reach my Ephors at the top of this mountain
However unlike the movie my council wont be bought
For despite tradition
This despotism
Revolves around me
I suppose my one regret might be
During my climb
I've left behind
Broken chunks of the hide
Pieces of my heart's mind
Physically fine
My metaphorically shattered heart remains as breadcrumbs in this forest of pine
Infested by witches and beasts some believe divine
My fight continues
Till i decide to see the sun shine
Again
Until then
I harbor the light i create
Starting in my heart and spreading through my spine
Powered through luminescence
All the world's weight isn't enough to make this back break
