He came from nothing
Resented, Uncared for
Clawing tooth and nail
Cold and hard out of necessity
She was from privilege
Awkward at first blossom
Blooming into confident
Her brilliance evident
He did not fit their parameters
Surviving on the outside
Few bothered to see
The broken soul within
She was accepted
Her thirst fueled her tenacity
Her heart was true
No tolerance for labels
He became dark
The Dark hid much
He became brave
The Light was cruel
She became beautiful
A biological progression
She became brave
A choice of conscience
He was strong
Hiding hurt beneath layers
His mind was sharp
He would be what he feared
She was strong
Grace tempered her daring
Her mind was sharp
Poised for any challenge
She chose to fight
It was the right thing
He had to fight
Against all the wrongs
They came face to face
He was fiercely unforgiving
She was fiercely compassionate
The battle raged
His ferocity borne of pain
Her courage to persevere
His valour overcame the doubt
Her kindness won the day
Their scars spoke volumes
Their labours endured
Their separate paths
Lead to each other
Fin
