Ode to 8

Life’s like a game

And I the valiant challenger

Whatever trials thrown in my face

Flinch I never will

I walk my path

I brave my way

Others be there or not

Be as it may

Some people impose some people bend

But to what clicks not, I stride right on

Hey what you see is the status quo

I see is as transient as a cloud

Sure if I want I could be open

But oh please if you put in not the effort

Yet wanna forge a bond oh please

I ain’t needy and pushing for ya acceptance

Some people are weaker they need validation

But to me life has made that utterly foreign

Think as you will, and judge as you may

I’ll stick to my path and brave it out anyway

Along the way I know I’ll gain some allies

I’ll taste the sweet and cringe at the bitter

But at the end of it there’s only one way

That’s to be valiant and forge my path

Oh… divine aid or not I’ll trailblaze my fate
