War With Demons

The harsh winds bite at my very soul
Alone I sit, waiting for the fight to commence
Heart racing, sweat pours despite the cold

Caution…not today
The warrior reaps the spoils
Cowards merely pray

Scars are reminders
Painful, but not fatal
Lessons of a fighter

Forward! I march to claim what is mine
Steel raised above my head
My sword of truth transcends time

Seize the day!
Lord steady thy hand
Use wisdom, guide my way 

The moment is now
Not past heartaches
Nor future vows

Slay the demons, for they must fall
Thrust thy sword deep
Only then will I hear Victory’s call
