Crusaders

I’m finally ready 
discovered it yesterday 
while walking on Madison  and 74th. 
The times of destruction are gone 
bending is not breaking  
a trip is not always a fall .

A message to haters:We are all crusaders
the higher  the walls,the harder we stroke .
We are constant warriors that never surrender 
so mind your own business 
and leave us alone.

You  might see us kneeling sometimes for a second .
You might see us spinning without much control.
Though you’ll never see us deep down in the darkness, 
that sometimes surrounds  our battered souls.
 
Because life is always a declared resistance, 
a struggle that leaves you with multiple sores. 
If we start regretting the scars of our bodies
 our stories of glory would never be told.
