Solemn Vow

Never did I close my eyes

To shut out fear and pain

Rather felt it was unwise

Quite stupid and arcane

 

Never did I try pull back

When called to forge ahead

Better to risk a smack

Than living life with dread

 

So that is why I now

Am not afraid of death

Swearing a solemn vow

To fight for every breath
