She Walked Through Mictlan

She took her final breath, then the silence replied, Left every tear, every fear, every lifetime behind. Cold in her chest but a fire in her mind, Death couldn't break what the heart couldn't hide. No halo, no heaven, no gates made of gold, Only a road where the forgotten are told. Stone after stone and the wind growing cold, Every new step makes her spirit more bold. Nine rivers ripple, every current collides, Darkness is dancing wherever she strides. Echoes are calling, they swallow the night, She answers with courage instead of her fright. Walk... don't stop... don't fold... don't freeze, Bow to no darkness, get down on no knees. Cross every river, survive every test, Carry your soul like a blade in your chest. Walk... don't run... don't beg... don't break, Every scar's another promise you make. Mictlan is waiting, the silence expands, Death only opens what fate already planned. Mountains are crashing like thunder and drums, She never retreats and she never succumbs. Sharp freezing wind trying hard to erase, Still she keeps staring the dark in the face. Jaguar watching with fire in sight, Testing her soul in the dead of the night. One steady heartbeat, one dangerous grin, Nothing outside can defeat what's within. Every obstruction becomes an ignition, Every condition becomes ammunition. Every collision creates intuition, Pain into power without permission. No queen without pressure, no crown without scars, No road to forever without walking through dark. The old gods observe but they never command, They only respect those who still choose to stand. Walk... don't stop... don't fold... don't fade, Nothing worth keeping was ever afraid. Nine rivers behind her, no chains in her hands, She earned her forever inside Mictlan. She didn't vanish, she changed her design, Beyond every border of space and of time. The woman they buried was never the end, Her name keeps echoing again and again.
