I stand here ready, ready for war,
My heart beats steady, ready to soar,
With armor on my chest, and sword in hand,
I'll fight for what I love, and take a stand.

I know the risks, I know the cost,
But I won't back down, won't count the loss,
For when the battle's done, and victory's won,
My soul will rest, and shine like the sun.

So let them come, let them try,
I'll stand my ground, won't be denied,
For I am ready, ready for war,
And I'll fight for what I believe forevermore.

I loved this ending, I liked the poem, because we fight every day, everyone has internal battles to fight some stronger than others but it is part of the same process of life, very nice poem, greetings friend ☺

Thank you very much for your kind comment.
Immediately, I saw the picture, those eyes looked to me like the eyes of someone that's about to fuck someone or something up. And you're right, we all have battles to fight. I hope that we all have the strength to fight those battles when they come knocking.

To fight for what you believe is a strong desire not to be dragged. But in war, no one can count the cost because the ultimate price may be asked.

Well, there's absolutely no chance for victory if we don't show up for the war, and there's a chance of victory if we do show up. There's also a chance of defeat, true.
But the way I see it, the only to have a semblance of hope that victory will be won is to show up for the war.

I like the intensity of your poem, Femmy Emmanuel. They evoke bravery, courage and firmness in ones decision.

The message of the rhymes goes really well with the photo provided. Good luck to you on the prompt challenge :)

And because I like to highlight this, I'm sharing it on LeoThreads and invite you there as well. If you haven't heard about it, it's a twitter-like feature here on Hive where it is fun to share short, random thoughts and anything one could think of. For more info, you can check out the collaboration between BC Poets community and LeoThreads. It's a good opportunity and space to have fun and interact with other Hivers and earn some LEO, HP and HBD in the process.

Also, there's an initiative by some of the whale accounts on Hive to highlight favorite posts for the week and polls are done on LeoThreads. Feel free to ask if you have questions :)
