Maleficent

Internally twisted  
Unshapely divine  
Entwined in a maleficent shrine  
Withering away is your blackened soul  
Crumbling atop the ashen knoll  
   
To the bottom you rest with lack of will  
Curled into a ball  
Your screams are shrill  
When tempers flare  
Despondence calls  
Unto the depths your freedom falls  
   
I saw the malign challenging you  
And I just stood there and so did you  
With words you’ve meant  
And words you’ve minced  
Fade away untimely intransigence    
   
Can you lift your head?  
Can you face the wrath?  
Cross the span?  
Endure the path?  
To err at the forefront  
Grace at the back  
Coherent in which the skills that lack  
   
When life fills your sins  
You cannot hide  
You earn them; you spurn them  
They coincide  
   
As the road intertwines  
Define your way  
Right to design  
Left to decay    
   
To see the light is to tempt a dream  
You scheme, align, forbid, redeem  
Climb up from the ashes  
Face your strife  
Now is the time to change your life
