The Beowulf in me

The Beowulf in me is hidden within. 

Many may not know it, but I think more than I say.

If they ever test me there'll be hell to pay.

Though I will do what I can if you just give me the key.

Some may not think I am ambitious, but just wait and see.

I can be stubborn at times.

But keep believing in me.

I've got what it takes; believe it or not.

But I am not perfect.

No surprise there.

And sometimes when I think there is no hope; I start to not care.

But I'll keep going.

I never will stop.

Regardless of what others say; I will make it to the top.

There is a champion in me.

Though I have made mistakes.

Beowulf is within me.

Not far, not near.

It has always been inside.

For many years.
