keep going
you have steel rib cages and a fearless heart that will guide your iron will that has never been matched
keep going
you breathe in toxic air and the remnants of galaxies destroyed
keep going
you invite stardust into your lungs with no fear that you may not be able to contain the power of the universe
keep going
you have a hurricane for a soul and a storm behind mortal irises
keep going
your skin is burning to the touch because the sun cannot ever be cooled
keep going
even goddesses taste lead in their mouths and the sting of their own blood being spilt
keep going
your bones may break under the weight of your own wings that carry you so high
keep going
you may fall from the heavens where you were molded into marble and bathed in gold
keep going
you may collapse and crumble and shatter violently from which you believe there is no return
keep going
don't not let the dirt under your nails and the shadows that envelop you extinguish the torch of light that you possess
keep going
even the constellations eventually break right where they lay still in the sky
keep going
reforge yourself from the glittering glass shards you've become
keep going
rage and burn and wreak havoc
keep going
show those who dare tempt your fury that there is no mercy
keep going
there is no escape from the end of your blade
keep going
you are not what they are. you are beauty and power and utter ruin and there is nowhere for them to run
just keep going
