Maybe My Passion Is Nothing Special, But At Least Its Mine.

“Maybe my passion is nothing special, but at least it’s mine.”

WHEN THE PAWN HITS THE CONFLICTS HE THINKS LIKE A KING

WHAT HE KNOWS THROWS THE BLOWS WHEN HE GOES TO THE FIGHT

AND HE'LL WIN THE WHOLE THING BEFORE HE ENTERS THE RING

THERE IS NO BODY TO BATTER WHEN YOUR MIND IS YOUR MIGHT

SO WHEN YOU GO SOLO YOU HOLD YOUR OWN HAND

AND REMEMBER THAT DEPTH IS THE GREATEST OF HEIGHTS

AND IF YOU KNOW WHERE YOU STAND THEN YOU KNOW WHERE TO LAND

AND IF YOU FALL IT WON'T MATTER CAUSE YOU'LL KNOW THAT YOU'RE RIGHT

no more touching grass, I need to be embraced by moss and decompose to become one with the forest
