play

can you play in my game?
are you strong enough
to walk by my side?
will you link your arm in mine
as we march through this life
never faltering
never failing in our quest
to become stronger
to become human towers
of knowledge and inner power
are you capable
of slapping pain in the face
or spitting on pity?
i have learned to walk beyond
that which causes pain
it is only an emotion of this realm
to move past it
you must be strong of will
that which does not kill you
will make you stronger.
if you let it kill you, you lose
there is no second chance
in my game.
