The Proof Of Worth Poem by Sven Rhoads

I've fallen from the sky with burning wings
And I dont plan to ever go back
I hear the beating drums as the raindrops sing
And I've been painted black
Its hell or high water, nothing in between
Looking up as my demons smile
Its silent before the war cry screams
As the bodies begin to pile

You've knocked me down but for the last time
I'll pull you out of what is rightfully mine
I feel your claws and serrated tongues
But this battle has now only just begun

I deserve to stand in the golden sunlight
And smile as another challenge is conquered
You will hear me howl to the moon at night
In me there is no surrender

I stand on this earth
Showing the proof of my worth
To all who play witness I give my blood
I will give no ground
My time has come around
Today is for war, tomorrow for victory

Damned if I do, damned if I dont
I'm not one to rely on miracles
What will be will be, harshest of truths
Only one way to see what tomorrow knows

Piece by piece I will gather my armor
From head to toe, from skin to soul
If she'll be there at the final outcome
Its only one more reward for me

But I wont be one to jump the gun
This path is clad in unknowing fog
Each wraith must be cast out of me
Hunted down and ground into dust
