I Am a Man

A firm, definition attached to my title,
Loyal to my strength as my conviction to Christianity,
Harder than the blows Lucifer dares to strike.
Rigid are these eyes, these eyes are unwavering,
Strong enough to pierce through the window of my enemy,
Through this window, a place a soul once lived.
Knees never to be weakened,
For within dwells the key to my strength,
Eternally frozen, these tears,
A man's tears.
This heart's size, infinite,
If size fits such possibility,
The size of a mountain maybe,
Mountains, mother and true protector of oceans,
This heart, father to my constantly, repelling fears,
Repelling from the protector of my steadfast, soul,
This heart abandoned all my fears,
Fears known to man, i know none,
Hearts of lions, transcripts of this heart within,
My manhood, my heart.
