Inner Warrior How many battles have you braved dearest warrior How many times have you fought for others peace Only to find your greatest fight of the heart Would be to live with this body now diseased Did you think gentle warrior that all your wars Would be fought on an earthly plain Could you ever have imagined the wounds As your very essence is to live now in pain Youve been an advocate for all that is just And fought always on the side of victims rights But how could you ever prepare for the inner struggle That haunts you in your shadowed nights Was it easier to be brave for everyone else To hold fast to the standard of all that is true Did you ever believe in your darkest dreams That you would have to fight just to stay you When the terror of facing the final breathe Holds you ever so firmly in its hypnotic trance Can you stand strong in the face of courage Knowing this will be your last star dance Did you imagine when the illness took you That the hardest battle you had yet to fight Was to hold onto the peace you once found When your wounded soul weeps in the night Do you ever curse the path you must walk Or wonder why it must always be the warriors role Scream to the heavens in silent confusion Cursed to be shattered to the depths of your soul Can you hold all the broken pieces together there When you know in the end you are doomed to fail That you fight a war you cannot hope to win Knowing this outer shell grows ever more frail For this is the greatest test dear warrior soul To fight against the darkness that tries to pull you down That after every battle raged for the side of peace Your last stand would be fought on inner ground Hold tight gentle soldier to all you have gained The beauty that life has shown you in this world And know when you dance from this place in the end You will find peace at last as your destiny is unfurled-JK
