Something

As I stand tall and proud,

Wind blows from the sea

Reminding me I have something to live for

Something I can call mine,

Something that's there for me,

Something that's like me,

Something that knows my strengths,

Something that knows my weaknesses,

Something that's got my back,

Something I can push around

But will always be there.

I know my enemies

And I know my allies.

I know my family

And I know my story.

But looks can be deceiving.

An empty forest can have a shield.

A pen can be a sword.

And an event can just be mist.

A hand joins my hand,

The battle is about to begin.

I'm not sure who will win,

But hey,

Battle strategy is my thing.
