Lay down your defenses You will not be able to resist this Put away your weapons and take down your protective fences It's wasted energy to fight what's pulling you Discard your layers of armor This arrow already penetrated your heart Drop the shield trying to deflect kindness coming your way Lift off your helmet to make room for your crown Your spear is useless now Here you stand naked and bare willing to accept this love you've found We can be warriors Stronger together An unbeatable pair Fighting demons Slaying dragons And leading a path to victory with the energy we share The question is "Do you Dare?"

It's Your Battle
Reading as resistance Not reading as distraction A prologue of Reflection An intro in Contemplation Then commence with Participation Continue in Expedition Subdue with Rebellion Prevail in Revolution And savour the Liberation Of a book well read.

Libr-ation
Go with the flow, quit resisting change, Hour by hour time is running out, Stay up all night, you can sleep when you're dead, Make lasting memories, forget regrets, you're better without.

Stop Resisting Change
Rooster has to crow in the morning Cat has to prowl around at night. I see a petty dictator ruining lives I grab my pencil ready to fight. We’re not in the dark ages anymore. Nor are we still in the Old West. We don’t slap on a pistol and go out And put a bunch of lead into the pest. So, I write down the words that I feel. I call a snake-oil salesman what he is. I carefully explain what a crook looks like And show off the difference from a Wiz. They may claim they’re an eagle today If that is the delusion they are in. But I will be quick to dispel such a lie By pointing out the wattles on their chin. Pigeons spread their droppings all over. Dog likes to dig around in the dirt. I have to point out the creeps in the world Then take appropriate joy when they’re hurt. My hope is the people that are fooled will see They don’t have to sit and eat the lies. They can stand up and ***** in the face Of those who are criminals in disguise. Tell any scoundrels exactly what they are And let them know you are not fooled. Don’t let them walk away feeling proud. Make sure they’re appropriately schooled. Knock any martinet off their pedestal. Tell them you think they are a clown. Don’t leave their ego in undented shape. Then go on and kick them when they’re down.

RULES OF COMBAT
I can only resist for so long challenge that which is so strong before my mind breaks and age takes what makes all resistors great. I can only be an insurgent casting shadows of love instead of waging raging battles of blood for so long before I am all gone. Right or wrong but mostly right, I can only fight this lonely fight before the light fades and I say goodbye to my better days

Failing Resistor
You are the rain falling from the sky, Serenading yourself off the shingled roof. Though I have shelter, walls and a ceiling, You trickle your way through the cracks. An empty room gathers dust; Snow collects in corners of windows; And my resistance to you Suffers from your irresistibility.

Resisting the Irresistible
I can't breathe. You're drowning me I'm crying, screaming While you're holding me Why are you choosing someone like me You're branding me, but I'm chaotic Resistance. I've given up so just leave me be, Cause all you're doing is just Hurting me.

Chaotic Resistance
I won't cry about you. I won't write about you. And maybe you won't exist.

I'm Lying.
You finally gave in. I could feel how tense you were; How each nerve in your body felt- Rejecting the situation against their will. But then you gave in to yourself. And then me. You relaxed and your arm pulled in, Pulling me with; you felt strong. Your nose nudged the back of my head, Making me smile into the dark. You held me and the moment As if it were the most important thing. With each breath you took in It filled the curve of my back, And then I could breathe easy. Because you finally gave in to us.

Giving In
I am like a tree Swaying with the wind Resisting But over time, branches crack and fall One by one Eventually, I am left with nothing but the sound of my body breaking Crashing to the ground
