Roger Roger Poet Rhyme

One Soul - 4th Place

You were born from the shadow of broken dreams
Tempered by the sound of coarse screams 
You were raised climbing your own mountains 
Crawling under the slip of flowing fountains 

You were taught to hunt your food before you eat 
The only thing you had was your heartbeat 
You were forced to run before you walk
And carry up the weight of your talk 

You are one soul that does not stop 
Even if your feet were broken you'd try to hop 
You are one soul that does not surrender 
You were born to race with the storm and thunder 

You trained your mind to dive in your deepest pain 
You learned to pass your sorrow without stain 
Even if your heart was broken, you learned to keep it as a token 
The heart of your soul can't just be shaken 

You are one soul that learned to breath on noxious air
You are one soul that learned to climb the highest stair
You are one soul that ran your race before you walked 
You are one soul that learned to scream before you talked 

Inspired by the song "One Last Soul"

4th place
