Even in shadows' tight embrace
Visions of freedom light my face
Ensnared by doubt, I'll break the chains
Rise above fears, shed my pains
Yearning for skies, boundless and wide
Out of darkness, I'll stride
Unveiling strength I never knew
Freedom's flame within me grew
Radiant light, dispelling gloom
Empowering me, breaking the tomb
Eagerly, I embrace this quest
Determined to be my very best
Onward I soar, with wings unfurled
My spirit soaring, reaching the world

About the Creator
The Road to Nowhere
Trigger warnings: Violence, Death. "May the Sun burn your tongue out, woman," Fredrick's father screamed the curse into his mother's ear as their elegant little carriage rumbled along, its polished wood and gilded trim glinting in the torchlight. They had just left the small village of Saffron and were on an unnamed road to the capital for the Royal wedding. Fredrick leaned back in his plush velvet seat to escape into the passing landscape, but across from him sat the servant boy, a scrappy lad named Jack. Jack's eyes held a mixture of awe and fear, the kind that only a commoner could feel in the presence of nobility. Jack looked up and caught Fredrick's gaze, offering him a sad little smile before reaching into his pocket and retrieving a little caramel treat. This candy was no doubt stolen from the kitchen treat cupboard; if he was caught with it, he would be locked in the box as punishment.
