Changling bound beyond belief;
Captured in a torturous tempest
Of dark deceit.
Held against all hope of escape,
She bends without breaking
Drawing strength from within
To fight the demons
That swirl and linger
Waiting for her to succumb
To their evil intent.
She struggles, drawing into herself
Where memories of past
Flicker with hope and love.
Deep within, she can hold herself apart
Raise her head and glare boldly
At their demands,
Refusing to give up or give in
To their lies and corruption.
Her struggle will give others hope
To persevere and demand;
To rise up and give voice
To the evil mandate that holds them
Bound in despair.
One
With her inner strength
And pureness of heart
Will grant them all a future
Beyond this dreadful abyss.
