His message,
he meant it,
he saved me
from insanity

‘Fight ‘til the fight is over’

So simplistic
and logic-filled,
a revival from
mental well-being killed

Leaders are born
from adversity to brilliance,
as a passionate voice
incites resilience

Toward a goal
with forces driving,
through pressure and stress;
a tension undying

A moment of clarity
with the words he preached,
drew balance closer
and control within reach

‘Fight ‘til the fight is over’
become a general,
not just a soldier,
refine your passion
as you grow older
