Sacrificial

Self sacrifice isn't foreign to me
In fact, we know each other intimately
To the 33rd degree like that of Masonry
Rhyming sonically and metaphorically

I've given so much of me in my yesteryears
Been deployed to war; leaving trails of tears
Shifted gears during an array of encounters
Parried many blows and then threw counters

I have the power to rule my Castle Grayskull
Master of my universe; never selling my soul
I've consoled and counseled ungratefulness
Now strategizing my moves like I do in chess
