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
