Warrior

Do you believe in destiny?

That you were born for a certain need  

A certain path you are told to follow

Which you've no choice but to heed

 

I was born to be a hero

To protect those who are weak  

I'm the one that will come running  

When others begin to shriek

 

I jump in the way of battles

And protect the young from pain

Seeing the people that I love be happy

Is what I hope to attain

 

Sometimes it gets lonely

Standing out amongst the pack

Sometimes it gets scary

Having a target on your back

 

When people see great power

They want to make it their own

The fact that one day I might lose

Is something I've always known

 

But knowing I've done some good

And that I might've saved a friend

Every single sacrifice I've made

Was worth it in the end

 

So it's with a smile on my face

And with a kiss, I say goodbye

Don't you shed a tear my love

'Cause sometimes heroes die

I think I spent more time trying to think of a one word title that I was happy with than I actually did writing this poem....

But hey, its been a while,but I finally wrote something.
