I am the One

I hold the half-full glass

…confident…standing high

…chest heaving

…breathing infinity

I am growing…

…lift my eyes to Heaven and pray

…a true man’s life I strive

Stride as a man should

…to defend ethics and principle

I stand beyond the mundane existence of

…fools of slack realities and borrowed time

…those who walk along a mirrored space and

…mourn their fading reflections

Never will I lay close with liars

…who curse with embittered egos and

…drown their shame in self loathing

I choose to dream of sane possibilities

…immersed in the positivity of lights

…of timely change and circumstance

…because, I am he

…seeing the truth in life

…and well know its name

I will be a champion…

I know well this game*
