Essence of Self

Sometimes i feel my faith is a chest of lost treasure without a map
I know that I'm destined to be loyal servant known to man 
In spite of the thornbushs cover my path
I'm never a pure breed 
but yet only worthy to those who speak of the most high
As i harvest the most divine fruit on this fertile soil
promised to be drenched by the flawless fain drops rejuvenating all it's dead 
roots
A treasure of the gates eases my heaviest burden
nevertheless conquering my vows and wages of supremecacy is a portrait of 
marbleitself
My golden armor shied's me from  the patrons of man
