The Warrior

The road I have since long strided,

Has always been one-sided,

But slowly now the tables will turn,

And a new me will be born.

I am a warrior, nothing less,

I have fought life and death with finesse,

I know how to face my troubles,

How to go one-on-one on broken pebbles.

Life has been my war, the world my warzone,

My fate was never decided, never sown,

I change my fate, whatever was written,

As I see fit, as it should be rewritten.

I have changed my fate always,

I am doing it again in life's hallways,

I will not bear it any longer, no more,

This is my limit, my patience, I swore.

Now I shall fulfill my purpose,

The one I chose in this big circus.

No longer shall I live by life's rules,

I shall find in the dust jewels.

This is my promise to myself and me,

This is my destiny, my journey.

I am a warrior, and I may lose a battle,

But not a war, I learn from errors and the end I settle.

The world is my warzone, life my war,

I am a warrior, my cry shall go far.

It will change me, others and the world for the best,

And then, I can finally rest.
