I am a shield
I am a weapon,
I am a friend,
I am a foe to most,
I am a shell,
I am a host,
I am a soul,
I am a wandering ghost
These hands are strong,
these eyes deep like the sea,
these arms are mine watch as they lead,
these feet can run,
this mouth can speak,
here and now is where we meet,
I am empty,
but
I am strong,
because she will let me sing my life's song,
and I will fight,
and I will rise,
and I will do so till my demise,
cleverly adequate,
deviously sly,
I will stand for you and I, they and them,
he and she, we and us,
Because I will put people before me
before me before people,
take a swing,
take a return,
take and explanation,
and I will melt and freeze into your armor
this flame of mine,
devotion and determination,
my D&D is all I will need to make your problems mine
to go away,
if we tend me like a garden
I
will
flourish,
if it fits
I will not sit
I would rather stand instead
to be the shoulder we all need in the end.
