Courage


Waking up to seeing failure sleeping on my mat

This is never my friend but how guided in

Yelling at him, he screwed up to anger

I have wondered and thought, I slept alone

I have no one in, I'm in the room alone

A stranger trying to be pay me unacceptable visit

A stranger to become my king in my territory?

No... I yelled at him but he never left

I started a fight that I couldn't end

I fought him several times but he's just too skilled

Where's my strength, where's my courage, my heart as a man?

Then he made a vow that we'll never leave but turn me slave

I fought I lose, I tried smarting him but he keeps outsmarting me

But I'll never give up, No I'll never back off... I must win

Thanking for teaching me brutal ways to live, tough stranger

What I know,

I can only gain my authority as my king after overcoming your bullies.

Brutal, Fatal, Painful and weird are my lessons with you

 

It's better to live with a wise enemy than a foolish friend.

I fight to finish, Fight till the your end
