By Ryan of the North<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am a warrior,
\nThe blood of fighters and defenders,
\nTo guard what is precious,
\nAnd fend away the foreign sword,
\nBy honor, courage and discipline,
\nTo do what is right in all ways,
\nWith tooth and nail I hold on,
\nTo be an offensive shield,
\nI am the Warrior.<\/p>\n

I am a creature,
\nSeparated from the others,
\nWith a viscous apatite,
\nLicking claws upon bones,
\nAnd nursing my offspring,
\nNo words be spoken,
\nWhen the eye is open,
\nI am the Creature.<\/p>\n

I am a mentor,
\nWho let\u2019s the question find the answer
\nSmack you down with strength
\nAnd build you up through resistance,
\nOne final fall right be for deliverance,
\nLet you feel the need to dig deep,
\nTo pull yourself up on your feet,
\nRight before release,
\nI am the Mentor,<\/p>\n

I am a rebel,
\nSworn to life with liberty,
\nWith freedom\u2019s crown worn,
\nTyrants crumble amongst the pillars,
\nDo what needs done,
\nSurvive, overcome, adapted,
\nI am the Rebel.<\/p>\n

I am a monster,
\nTwisting bones to dust,
\nDevouring the flesh of prey,
\nNo remorse will pacify,
\nNo guilt will neutralize,
\nUnaffected by disgust,
\nDriven to keep life within,
\nI am the Monster,<\/p>\n

I am an enemy,
\nThinking against the grain,
\nResisting the will outside,
\nBlaspheming the sacred,
\nInverting the accepted,
\nFinding the fault in the plan,
\nOne who is hated,
\nOne who loves within hate,
\nI am the Enemy,<\/p>\n

I am a savoir,
\nLiberating the oppress,
\nHolding back the villains,
\nWarding off the unwanted,
\nStrengthening the weakened,
\nFrom ashes to flowers,
\nI am the Savior,<\/p>\n

I am always present,
\nNot visible yet perceivable,
\nNot tangible yet fathomable,
\nThe core of all that surrounds,
\nBuried under costumes of deceit,
\nCome fall into the deep,
\nDiscover what lies beneath it all,
\nI am the Self.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
