I am a Warrior

by Afshin   Jan 10, 2007


When my heart was out of strength and will,
My eyes would well up tears,
I knew not all was lost but still,
My chest felt like it seared.

But when I closed my eyes and realised
That life cannot be lived despised,
I got up on my feet with strength,
The flames in my eyes grew in length,
And instantly I was back alive,
I knew forever that I would survive.

I am a Warrior!
My soul's the scabbard of my heart.
I don't give up when defeat is near,
That is when my battle starts.

The pain is not my enemy!
Although to the weak it might be,
What hurts me only strengthens me,
Pain's my ally in a stormy sea.

My strongest weapon is my heart.
It shields my life from falling apart.
The moment you think you can shut it out,
Is the moment you've lost without a doubt.

So bring on all you got I say!
Demoralize me in every way!
My will strengthens after every blow,
All your efforts just make me grow.

Now that this battle's over I kneel.
I can't stand up cause I still can't feel.
I look up at the sky and scream,
The fire in my eyes still gleam,
I know before long I'll stand
Because I am a Warrior.
