i am the warrior and the poet

the one who will mourn the blood that spills from his veins, but who chooses to continue onward

the one who hardens his heart in adversity, and allows it to soften when peace returns

the one certain that he will sacrifice what he must to live honorably, yet wake to wax poetic in the throes of death

this is the path that was chosen for me, and i am condemned to follow it

evermore the warrior and the poet

fighting fiercely to free my mind so that my words will be felt across the globe
