War of Life
I walk the streets alone
Comfortable in my own skin
Destination unknown
The lights and sounds engulf me
Whispering promises ever so sweetly
I want to follow these voices
To see where they lead
To taste forbidden fruit
To unchain the shackles
That bind my worldly body
Yet, these chains seem indestructable
They are not man made
The armor that is part of me
Cannot be pierced by earth's arrows
I have been ready for battle
My whole life
Given a breastplate of strength and love
To wear for eternity
The enemy is a formidable foe
Lurking around every dark corner
Preying on my weaknesses
Ready to pounce and devour
But I feel no fear
No amount of temptation
Can put up a stronghold around my heart
Or vanquish the strength
Given to me by my eternal ally
I am ready to storm the beach head
With my brother at my side
For together, we are invincible
The war of life is at hand
I march forward, into the fray
