Reyvrex Questor Reyes - Breakthrough

As darkness looms so thick, a solid wall,
Which held the night hostage, it failed to dawn,
The heart sinks deeper, reeling from the fall,
Adversity, obliges it to spawn;
The noisy accolades of past glories,
Have muted down to murmurs of regret,
No laurels on the head, just memories,
Some vestiges a few did not forget;
A hero cast aside so slovenly,
By Fate that left much pain, but little pride
To struggle on that wall, when suddenly,
A knock, then voice, heard from the other side;
...It pierced the dark to find a way,
...Set to get through, into the light of day.
