The Warrior's Journey

I was five years old when I first won the game,

Defeating the villain, creating my own fame,

But what did it all mean? I couldn't decipher,

Who was I in this world? Where was my place of desire?


I soon realized that the game was just a start,

A new battleground where I had to play my part,

The fights were different, weapons my own creation,

And each year, the battles got harder, a new foundation.


I tried to quit, but the warrior in me couldn't let go,

I had become one with the game, a part of my soul,

I lived for the thrill of pushing my limits to the brink,

And for that one moment of victory, I would do anything.


But who was I, really? Lost in the battlefield of life,

Trying to survive and thrive through pain and strife,

Was I just a character, like in a game or a play,

Or was there something deeper, more to convey?


Through it all, I discovered a sense of purpose,

To fight for what I believe, to never lose focus,

To stand up against injustice and strive for peace,

To face the challenges head-on, to never give in or cease.


The battles may be harder, but the warrior's heart is strong,

And with each win or loss, I find where I belong,

For in this journey of life, the warrior in me lives on,

Fighting for a better tomorrow, until the battle is won.


So, I may not know who I am if not a warrior,

But in this game of life, it's the role I am destined to conquer,

And with each obstacle faced and obstacle overcome,

The warrior's journey continues, till the next battle has begun.
