Self


What carries you through everything is the confidence,

What makes you strong is your struggle,

What makes you brave is your will, 

What keeps you going is your hunger, 

What makes you different is your battle,

What makes you live is your love and longing,

What you can never lose is yourself,

What you can never leave is your drive,

What keeps you sane are those memories 

and what you strive for is power.
