I’ll stand on the ***** of my feet
to make myself seem taller than I am.
Fearless, brave, strong, restless.
A leader cold and distant but
I was only casting shadows
Soon my hair will settle at the nape of my neck
and my toes will become too sore
a coward broken, sad, and discouraged
rotten to the core
For being fearless, brave, strong, and restless
has made me a far cry from that fierce leader.
Now I lay weak, restless, and defeated
with looming knowledge that tomorrow
will be the day this battle starts again.
