Roar of a Warrior

Write
With no hint of apology

Write
With nothing to show
Yet everything to reveal

Write
Make them fall for your words
Carefully chosen
Just to make them feel

Let them feel
The love
The hate
The joy
The pain

Let them see
And witness
How broken you are
As you tear
Every piece of you
Before their very eyes

Let them watch
Your blood dripping
Pooling against the floor
As you still try
To stay alive
While asking yourself
Am I still alive?

Fool, you are
You’re still alive
And now you wonder
Which is better
To be gone
Or be alive?
Maybe the first one
Yet, you chose the latter

And by choosing the latter
Staying alive
Now consider yourself
As a warrior
A warrior, who’ve lost
Too many battles
A warrior, who’ve lost
Too many friends
Along the way

Are you a loser?
Sir, Madam, I beg to disagree
No one can be like you
Why? Because you are
The bravest one
I have ever seen
The one who falls
Far too many times
Yet, curse them all to the hell and back
You are still standing

You, the lone wolf in the forest
You, a fighter sporting black and blue all over
You, trying to breathe
In a suffocating confinement
You, keeping it all together
You, still trying to hold on tight
Though the rope is slipping under
Raise your head slumped for a long time
Chin up, bang up your chest like a madman
And roar, roar so loud everyone can hear
Roar, like a warrior that you are
