When I reach
my limit
I think of
Roxas’ limit break.
His special ability:
Magic Hour.
Wearing grief
in a black coat,
he stands before
The Heartless;
his darkness
personified.
Then
he breaks
cries
smites
with pillars
of light.
Wielding Keyblades
of yellow moon
and inky night
he fights.
When I reach my limit,
The Heartless
find me.
When night falls
they rise
with red eyes
barbed tongues
and snatching tentacles.
Wearing hope
and dreams
in golden armor,
I break
wipe tears
then fight fears.
My Keyblade
is a brilliant star
that slashes
moonlight.
With one strike
my special ability
activates:
Full Moon Blast.
Halos of light
erupt from me
as I float
carefree.
I am
an angel
vanquishing
demons
to stay alive.
In the end,
I survive
emerging
from darkness
to stand in
the dawn.
