Title: Wasteland
Author: Wlfgrrl

Disclaimer: The character of Faith belongs to Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy.

Rating: PG-13

Spoilers: None, but this is told from Faith's POV and the mood references the Bad Girls/Consquences events and repercussions.

Note:I lived for several years in Alaska. My time there made quite an impression on me...especially the frozen seas in the north and the people who live in that harsh environment. It inspired a metaphor that I thought rather suited Faith.

Feedback: if it's constructive it's always welcome!

~*~*~*~*~*~



Impulsive...reckless...hot-blooded...headstrong
Too daring...uncaring...unbalanced...all wrong
These are your judgements, assumptions...my "flaws"
You think me the weak one, the quitter...lost cause
Well lost I may be, but quitting? Not an option
I am instinct, survival, reaction...fuck caution.

I am sprung from the Wasteland, far from your Temperate Zone
Survival of the fittest, no weakness condoned
It's life on the ice pack, a misstep seals a fate
Choices presented, must not hesitate
Just keep moving forward, I'm sinking, blindly leap
If I falter or waiver, my life I'll not keep.

No rest for the weary, no comfort...so alone
The darkness surrounds me, a vast, black unknown
I hear them, their whisperings...the demons I face
They seek my destruction in this forsaken place
They're leery, recalling the battles I've won
I scream out my defiance, I'll not be undone

But now, the inevitable moment has come
The ice floe is shrinking from the now rising sun
I must not lose focus, this race I must win
I'll not be defeated, a victim again
I am power, survivor...my instincts are true
I'll be free of this wasteland if it's the last thing I do
