Pheonix of the Darkened Night

She looks to others for her reflection
But she sees only unfeeling masks
Her suffering her pain unseen
Her spirit dimmed only echoes between

Wading through water in the darkest of nights
The toil the burden with no respite
Walking on endless land of blight
A free fall downward spiral no light

When all seems lost a soul appears
Like a warm hug to the parched tears
A kindred soul who had walked the path
To help her find the light she hath

She rises anew but not the same
A phoenix reborn with a steady flame
Her splintered heart now burning bright
Vision restored a new path in sight

Determined and chanting the goddesses name
Conquering the demons she rose to fame
Stoic in her ways but life was a game
Lifting the scapegoat and evil to tame

Bruised and battered she rebuilt herself
Breaking the limits of who she could be
Stronger and wiser no slave to pelf
Warrior - Saviour she was born to free

She is Calyco.
