A knight.



I will not run,
I will not hide,
I ain't doing it for the fun,
I am a knight.

I'm a captain,
I'll rise with the ship,
but then again,
also going down with it.

If i most feel pain,
I'll take every blow,
If i most win,
my ability's will grow.

But running and hiding,
ain't my way,
i'm a fighter,
till the end of my day.

I just would like to feel,
the sunlight is toughing the flower,
i just would like to see,
the life time of the sea.

I just would like to hear,
the voice of power,
i just would like to speak,
with the heart of my life.

I just would like to take care,
for the things and people i love in this life.
And where ever i go,
I will always feel the same.

I know, that if someone want something so much,
he'll have to fight for it,
Sometimes we can take,
but most of all, we have to give.

Like giving up,
knowing it is for the best,
just losing in the name of love,
like letting yourself, beaten up.

But still it doesn't matter.
I'll take every single blow,
It really doesn't matter,
it is the only right way i know.

I'm the star that will always shine,
I'll be a mountain, rising up from the ground,
I'm the elephant with a tiny big world on his flower,
i'm maybe a dumb-ass, but my heart is at the right place.

Like i wouldn't know that,
a butterfly flew inside, when I was cleaning the house.
A mouse appeared at my feet,
when I was walking.
a bat flew around me, and redeemed me from mosquitoes.
Ducks and swans come just keep company, if I sit on the waterfront.
cats pass me just because I give them there for the space.
spiders comfortable walking on my hands, because they know I put them outside.

I could say much to people, because I mean well,
joke here, joke there, sometimes serious help, another time someone letting go. Friendly and open, I will respond,
as I am.
A knight.
