Wise and Humble Soldier

To the end of the dark corner where all the darkness leaps Hoping to jump out with excitement and capture the innocence Each piece played as chess, for the king holds all the power Move by move testing the strategic skills of each one Luring each pawn to be the same, but one stands out as a soldier A soldier who knows the game better than what others haven't yet comprehended Stuck in the darkness humble and yet alone of all the fears Fears for which no one will understand but yet the soldier builds a strong armor An armor used to protect itself around the rest of the game Choosing to opt out of the game but yet can't make a permanent move until on all feet Soon to become a leader, all with the time of patience and knowledge
