I am the will weapon warrior
The cannon cock crusader
The master of mayhem
The left wing lunatic
The soldier of the suburbs
The paladin of peace
The alpha and the omega
Battling on til Kingdom Come
I may die in the gutter
I may die alone
I may hurt another
In my quest for the throne
Wind me up and watch me go
The juggernaut of time
The alpha wolf
The lion cub
Spirit true
Spirit fierce
Sprinting to the line
In record time
Watch me go
Swinging that ball and chain
Into the ongoing horrible sea

This one was fun to write. Some days I am filled with immense confidence and optimism about my life and the future whatever it brings. There’s a Johnny Cash reference and more nautical stuff in there for good measure. Poems like this one bring back some of the better times locked up when I felt like I could handle anything, a mood that comes and goes to this day.
