The Warrior

He's a one man army
Fighting on this battlefield
Persistence is his creed and
Perseverance
Their ignorance is his
Weapon, his abiding strength
Can't bring him to his knees
He's standing tall

He's a warrior by nature
With a heart of stone
His thick armor is
Impenetrable
His survival skills
Have served him well till now
But he just cannot
Take anymore

Rise above this pit of sorrow
Despair in which they wallow
Despise them all
Their lives so hollow
And the lies that
You can't swallow

He's a warrior by nature
With a heart of stone
His thick armor is
Impenetrable
His survival skills
Have served him well till now
But he just cannot
Take anymore

Rise above this pit of sorrow
Despair in which they wallow
Despise them all
Their lives so hollow
And the lies that
You can't swallow

Intransigent and uncompromising
Pushing it to the extreme
Blame and shame
Poisoned me but
I'm not admitting defeat
They curtailed my life
Irrevocably went wrong
What my frailties are stem from
Perpetuating the dream
Filling the gap
Trying to compensate and redeem

This new
Found man
Is blooming out
Out of pain and suffering
