the ability to give a voice
to the voiceless
and to donate a heart
to the heartless
simply just to provide hope
to the hopeless
to be feared
because they know they're guilty
and not to be feared
because of your authority
the willingness to decide
for the confused uncertain
being able to accept
hatred, curses and damnation
and still move on,
only tripping once or twice
to be known, not for
good appearances
or appropriate actions
but for being able to
be trusted to do the job
to be able to forgive
yourself and others
to teach the cowardly
how to build a heart
to learn what it is like
to be in hell, heaven and limbo
to dig the world
for it's hidden secrets
instead of seeing what
the world wants you to see
to know that you're loved
and hated just as equally
and live life the way it is
to be pushed off a cliff
and drowned in an ocean
but to successfully make the
sinner explode in his guilt
to not gain respect by
showing your muscles
but to be a mirror
and reflect the truth
to be able to ride a horse
you tamed yourself
and to acknowledge
what it's like to be thrown off
to not always be number one
but to know that
you've always tried
