A Role Given

It has been long days and stormy nights Battle ground stations were music played a light Guided the way Sleepless nights how did I stay as the mask fell to the ground off their face Who were these people Turned out they were fake smile in the face of the one who gave without a word took shots to keep to teach them to live still was lured how deep was the water took on the dive with equipment to breathe hurt and pain kept me alive take me take me please why me was the end of the tests lessons learned a reward given after all of this mess it helped me to mature grew from a seed now the moment to bloom soon was taking so long all the wars helped to groom scars were all my own to accept my role to be picked on and chose now I know why we entered without shoes and clothes material things let go with no waiting the role was given uncovered it was about patience
