I'm moving forward

If a push is all we need,
Why am I still getting back up
Trying to be free?
I’ve been
The victim
The servant
The serpent
All of that in the time of my ignorance
Now I rise up
Climb up
Elevate
To my escape
With these tears of ink
The blood of past fears
And the scent of a warrior
A warrior I am
The daughter of Vikings
Striving
Pushing
Fighting
With my insides
Sometimes still feeling like I’m blind
So I cry from the scars and the pain
Carved into my soul and my skin
From carrying dead weight
And bouquets of hateful promises
They were all fake
Dead flowers smelling like bad breath
As I take a step closer to my fate
My light at the end of the tunnel keeps getting bigger and brighter
I learn to fight harder and better
Taking my soul to a place
Far beyond the threat of the shadows
The dirt and the poison
From the enemies,
Friends that could have been
That stabbed me
In the back
Once I turned to reach
And strive on a better path
