Your battle my army.... Your judgment my scars

YOUR BATTLE
MY ARMY......
YOUR JUDGMENT
MY SCARS.....

Perfect !!!!
I am not
But then I think you must have forgot
Calm and cautious
They visit me often
I am fuelled with fight
Damaged but not rotten

Bring me your army
Your weapons
Your troops
And one at a time I'll stand up to you

I'll fight from my knees if I have to ....

I've fought before whilst injured
I've come from behind and won
And if you come at me
come at me quickly
And if you hit me
Really hit me

Because if I rise to my feet
I won't hear your pleads
The battler in me will make you smother your screams

See I was born into a family of battlers
And usually there stronger for it
Cause when their shit out a luck
They make their own
When they live to tell the tale
It's one hell of a story
And if I asked them anything
They'd do anything for me

Every person i hold dear in my life
Are warriors
Their true blue
And each and everyone of them
Is worth a hundred of you

Their love is strength
Unconditionally
And I'm thankful as fuck
It was born and bred in me

So come forth with your soldiers
Give me your best
And I guarantee
My army will grow stronger and progress

Don't bother looking down on me
I have nothing left to prove
I did the opposite of what you thought of me
And I don't intend to lose

Funny how you see me smaller
And I see us as equal
The one difference between us
Is your life is one long story
An mine holds more colourful sequels

See
I show my scars
I've lived and learned through them
I'll have many more before my times through
Not one of my scars
would I
Even think to
erase or remove

As I live ...I learn... I improve

You hide your scars
Pretend you live the perfect reality
But we ALL have scars
The just appear on us differently

I carry mine with pride
And reserve my judgment
Your life includes a pretence
Where mine simply doesn't

And even if I had the energy
To show and prove you wrong
You'd hide under your cloak of reasoning
Don't worry your not the only one

So please
I beg you
come at me
With everything you posses
I'll enjoy making a mockery of all the things that make you obsess
And challenge you to battle me
To see who is truly blessed
Come forward now
And watch me
I thrive off this
At best !

For I have more within me
More surrounding me
I live more simply

And before you go to sleep at night
I ask you just one thing
Look at your self closely
Recognise your battle scars within
I'm sure you will find some

Your own deep tissue scars

And then
Refrain your tongue from judgment
Before you bite on it to hard

There's no difference
Except appearance
Between you and I
Only that I choose to be myself
And love the parts that made my life

I choose to live, receive and give   love
However wounded
Because at the end of the day
I no I've earned it

My army is behind me
I have no doubts of what's in store
For as we stand united
We fall together
or not at all

Carry on your ways
If they get you through your days
But don't feel sorry for me
Spare me your criticisms and judgments
Because I've lived through enough
To no how to overcome them

And what I mean to you
Don't mean shit to me

For I am
who I always am
Always have been

The things that make us different
Is in how we think
Not what we have been through
not what we have seen

I may walk in dirty shoes
But are yours really that pristine ?

I will sleep easier now knowing that your all cramped up ....

Must get a little sickening
Always drinking from
the bullshit cup

Open your eyes
Open your mind !
Don't be so obtuse
Just because you'd never be strong enough
Living in my truth .....
