Artworks: Leaving Hades

Lay the shadows to rest, the ashes on my chest
I’m waking now, I’m leaving Hades
All her whispered lies cling cold to tired eyes
Tortured in darkness, I seek the light I once craved.
The night is calm, yet memories ache and throb
Where embers of anguish still burn.
For deep within my soul, I’d almost come to call
This torment mine, my shelter, my own...
On I run, to reclaim what’s been shamed,
I’m breaking free, leaving Hades, unchained.
