The hero in strife...

I am the hero of my life, a broad battlefield
Life is earnest, bonafide one hundred percent
And dying is never it's goal!

Making the best from what is
Striving for what's needed
To make it more satisfying
Living is a choice I make
Each day, smiling when
It get's hard to bear the
burden of dead dreams
Desires that may never
Become reality.

I am the hero of my life.
The shepherd tending dreams
Moving ahead with dignity
Taking it slow, one step at a time
Reaching my destined abode.

Chimera of frightening memories
Buried gracefully, safe beneath
Sierra of hopes, the small little things
Glorified beyond reality to make it worth it.

Future perhaps is conceit , I know
Yet the illusion is breathtaking.
What could not be today maybe
Will come to life in a far away tomorrow.

 I am the hero of my life, a broad battlefield
Life is earnest, and dying is never it's goal!
