The Path

Lightning strikes the land, droplets of water start to fall,

This is the path I have chosen, unknown to all.

I started off as a mere animal, now I'm human,

My destiny is far and my resources are none.

I walk my path alone, no one with me,

I have to do it, no one can, I know, for me,

I aspire to be a warrior nothing less,

I strive hard to improve, not to impress.

I open my eyes in the rain, I feel the cold,

I feel so naked and alone, I feel the mould.

I stand alone, I can't stop the rain, I know,

All this hits me I cry, I try to cloth myself, to grow.

I have to take the hits, get up and move forward,

I can stop the tears, ignore the pain and head shoreward.

This is my path, I sought salvation in the wrong place,

My faith wasn't well placed, it decreased my pace.

But now I start moving without any help, to find myself,

To find my true path, this I know, I trust no other only myself.

That's the only way, I lost many times but now I shall win.

I can go the distance,  I can awaken the warrior within.

I am the fire, I don't give in to fear,

This is my fight, my burden to bear.

I hear the lightning and feel the rain,

I am a warrior and I feel no pain.

This is my path, my belief, my way,

My reason to stay alive, to go all the way.

I believe in myself and I know, my path is righteous,

I am a warrior, I don't give in, I'll be victorious.
