Struggle
I WILL NOT GO SILENTLY INTO THE NIGHT,
I SHALL NOT FALL WITHOUT A FIGHT.
I SHALL EXCEL BETWEEN THE CHAOS AND STRIFE,
I WILL STRUGGLE TILL THE LAST DAY OF MY LIFE.
I SHALL WAGE A WAR NOT WITH GUNS OR SWORDS,
BUT WITH THE EFFECTIVE POWER OF MY WORDS.
I SHALL NOT BE THE ONE TO SIT DOWN AND WAIT,
I SHALL BE THE ONE TO DECIDE MY OWN FATE.
I SHALL DEFEAT MY ENEMY FROM WHERE I STAND,
WITH NO MORE THAN MY BARE HAND.
THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT, BUT FROM WHERE I START,
THIS I KNOW FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
NO MATTER HOW GRIM OR HOPELESS THE FUTURE MAY SEEM,
THE END SHALL DEFINITELY JUSTIFY THE MEANS.
