Stronger than you know

[shadowknows69]

To those who fret, I am stronger than you know
Fire within me burning
Finally beginning to grow
A need to regain control
Of self, identity and purpose
Though the road be long and slow

Not in this land, so cursed and empty for me
Back to the path of the scholar
If that’s what the fates will for me.

Back busted but will of stone
Through penance of good works
I will, for past sins, atone.

Heart broken, but resolve unwavering
The only answers are in a distant space
Of mind, environment and spirits
To again know others
I must first relearn my own face

Mind broken, but focused on the now
With eyes to goals, the truth and the sky
I’ll not let this gloom have me one more day
Respect, trust and support my journeys
Or simply get out of my way

If no one else I have my faith.
Wind and spirits at my back
If the Gods don’t call me to death
You shall see the mark I make
Healer, teacher, writer, or leader
Underestimate me at your shame.
