Days feel like years as they pass
Each with lackluster moments, I can’t stand
Fading in my head, I barely understand
Even so, I try my best in every class
No man can blow the spark in me
Dim it might be, the fire remains
Pour out flames to break my chains
Refusing each deal, they urge me to plead
Every letter I write, for them alone
Silence etched in almost every line
Speak, I try, yet I’m met with bitter wine
Forever, I shall win battles on my own
Rest, well, I do not know her name
Embodying the wands, that I shall do
Earth shall witness strength they never knew
Death may have failed to perfect its aim
O, how I yearn to reach for the stars
Maybe one day I shall join their ranks so far
