The unexpected adventures are the best.
Momentarily the weight is lifted from my chest.
The coward in me protests.
The ball and chain forged link by link
From past regrets, disappears for a time.
The Gods will win in the end
But I will not give them the satisfaction of giving up.
I accept the challenge as if I had a choice.
But I do have a choice, live or die.
If I wake up in the morning then I know I have done at least one courageous thing.
I know the true enemy is myself.
If I can beat myself, then the Gods are as children.
