Originality

Fitting nowhere isolated, and being turned away is the life for the legendary because we choose not to conform to acceptance of the mob. While feet slip from their footing, grip weakens and breathe becomes heavy. When legs weaken and falter, arms break under overwhelming pressures of the world. When faith is tested, beliefs challenged. Knuckles blackened and bruised, bleed from fighting back. Being tested to the breaking point and still refusing to back down, change beliefs or conform for acceptance, this is a champion among men.
