Passionate Fighter

I never lost the passion

I was still the fighter

Fire still licked at my soul

Until the day the Maelstrom came

Now all that's left is embers

until someone reminded me

of love, of passion, of life

Because it's sweet

and it's divine

and life's the best gift

that you've ever been given

I faced dread Persephone

and her husband, Hades

yet left the boatman behind

for the flames were being stoked

and though agony still flared

in my heart and in my soul

I learned from my past

without Kronos' help

so now I'll spread my wings

as I've learned to fly

It's time to make a change

I've already broken the mold

now, I'll shatter it because

“Ego me” (I am me.)

and I'll never change.
