Warrior

Within the painful truth of dishonesty
the bitterness of clarity\'s bite
Comes the birth of a new warrior
Dedicated to the eternal fight
Ready to accept downfalls
vigilant to not lose sight
Crippled with the fear of failure
Inspired by honesty throughout

Heavily burdened shoulders
With the weight of self loathing and regret.
Intimidated by life\'s expectancies
To perform conform and progress
The price for my past decisions
Are paid every time I close my eyes
The unrelenting grip of guilt
Every time I look inside

What does it mean to be a warrior?
What does it take to win the fight?
Perhaps I will find all the answers
Once the questions no longer fright
So as I search for all the answers
I will push forward with courage and hope
As a warrior fighting for freedom
It\'s not winning that\'s important
it\'s how I cope
Not being afraid to fail or faulter
Conduct myself with honour
And truth
Battling life as an enemy
Living with the right to choose
