Bearing Crosses

Bearing crosses and taking losses like a boss
Ready for war more than a rebel with a cause
Of course, I'd prefer a full course meal of peace
But beast keep reaching on my plate for a piece

180 degrees is me meaning that I'm changing direction
Deception use to be an effective tool they used as a weapon
I changed step on them and marched to a different cadence
My radiance is now shining bright and they haven't seen me since

I'm convinced that my best defense is keeping my distance
Relentless in my pursuit of zen ambience with my persistence
My resistance to their ambitions of defeating me is high
Opening eyes to realize that the strongest Soldiers are born in July
