You, my hero...

You do not yet trust in yourself~
your strength
your determination
your abilities.
But
they are there
As surely as the wind,
that wind which we can feel
but can not see
As surely as the stars
hidden by clouds
on a stormy night
You are there
Everything you are
      can be
      will be
is there
You, my hero, have battled beasts
within you, without you
Slain them
in their path of destruction
Held strong your fortress
Slain them
Proclaiming, "No more! Be gone!
For I am stronger than you!
I will not lose!
I will not fall!
I will triumph!
For, indeed, I am stronger than you."


for A.
