ruined plans

I'm looking in a reflection of darkness
I see my time over and done
just an incident of happenstance
a twisted ankle, an aching bone.

I've worked so hard
and achieved so much
I'm gonna lose all i had
it hurts to touch.

it's not just my ankle
my soul is injured as well
I got myself in this pickle
i'll get myself out of hell.

nothing will stop me
I'll pick myself up
misfortune thinks he can touch me
he's full of crap.

I'm a trooper and I will survive
I'll leap through fire to achieve my dreams
I'll smile and give them a high five
my heart is strong and my face beams.

 

I found this online as fan art ("sorrow's true love" by jeni). It's from the book series "wildwood" by juliet marillier. I've read the two books and they are extremely good and to my taste. They are whimsical fairytales with suspense, romance, danger etc. The author is very well informed and does her research. I suggest reading these. I just had to post this picture because the scenery is just how I imagined it in the book! The first book is called, "Wildwood Dancing" and the second, "Cybele's Secret" I highly recomend reading them, I couldn't put them down.
