Raison


Recall hardships, testing heroes strength.

Adamantium saved him, but his resolve won the day.

It makes the man, a will to fight, so to say.

Swords can cut and slay, but without an edge

Ornament a home upon the mantle for display.

Nary a soul alive without a purpose inside, but

Devils fight to suppress the drive.

Each man has his reason to continue,

Though without resolve, devils will always beat you.

Reach out and grasp what you hold dear, find why you

Exist and push through the tears.
