For I am not a coward, to turn and walk away,

I just keep on holding on no matter what men may say.

For I know what I am taking on and I am not afraid,

I fight and combat and take it on at the highest grade.

I have the courage to shout out loud, from a mountaintop,

But once I start I never end as I dont know the meaning stop.

I pursue to achieve what I believe in despite all odds,

I respect and love the ones I want and make them demi-gods.

I am selfish so you say, but I never walk away,

I am always waiting for your return, no matter what you say.

That is more my selflessnes I care not for myself,

I’ll do everything for others and keep myself on shelf.

Look me in the eye and say it like it is,

For I am mortal with feelings not a rancid disease.

I only ask to see your face for I prefer looking the eyes,

It helps me gauge the sight and sound and learn my energy ties.
