But, I’m trained in peace.

I’ve done all I can to deter my nature.

At some point, you may need to step aside; and, let me work.

If I don’t think about where I am, but only where I’m going - I thrive.

It’s when I peel the sleep from my weeping lids, and take a peek, that I’m stunned into a deafening silence.

I cannot encapsulate these thoughts, these feelings, or this momentum.

I will stagnate and die.

A fate I would barter, for no other reason, than having a tarnished soul.

From sight, thought, presence, and a kind of reality.

There’s no way to understand - just forget.

And step into the chaos.

I have a warfighter spirit.

But, I’m trained in peace.

I’ve done all I can to deter my nature.

At some point, you may need to step aside; and, let me work.

If I don’t think about where I am, but only where I’m going - I thrive.

It’s when I peel the sleep from my weeping lids, and take a peek, that I’m stunned into a deafening silence.

I cannot encapsulate these thoughts, these feelings, or this momentum.

I will stagnate and die.

A fate I would barter, for no other reason, than having a tarnished soul.

From sight, thought, presence, and a kind of reality.

There’s no way to understand - just forget.

And step into the chaos.
