The Man Who Is Not Afraid of Anyone

Look at me carefully, staring at me in the eye: am I intimidating you? Where's your trust in me? Another friend more royal than me does not exist! I fought for a free and free existence, not to be admired and accept laurels which are reserved for the strongest and most worthy than I! Ah, I confess that I do not seek the glory of the gods, it won't make me happy: only true friendship; look closer at me: hear how I breathe... inhaling the scent of the lulling breeze that caresses me and demands no censorship! I am the man who is not afraid of anyone and having walked miles from youth until today: I've learned that life must be lived to be understood and appreciated with a valiant attitude... giving an example to those who lack courage and are afraid to show it and be alienated... as the most ruthless force beats constantly in a resurgent soul that only a warrior has in those most decisive and exasperating moments! Do not roll out carpets when I return from a victory, my humility will not accept it, but I would be stricken by the joy of your honorable act: it will remain in my vivid memory... while you will wonder why I am so humble and defend my virtue: all that I am and will be was instilled in me to pursue the valor and grit of a heroine and an angel who fell from Heaven; she guided me with her wise heart bringing me close to God, and warning me that my path would have been long and hard: if I had the same persistent faith that she had, and so I've become the man who is not afraid of anyone!
