The First Anchor

Lead—responsibility without constant reward is a challenge accepted at birth.

The pillars, tasked with breaking and rebuilding each curse of life with bare hands.

Blaming those meant for guidance only acknowledges the absence of those branded to be followed.

A proper shield wears marks of war with honor, for being protection was once satisfying enough.

Foundation set with sturdy hands can prosper generations unseen—

but only through fear is this possible.

A man is only human, and that’s obvious.

Yet within that truth lies beauty in his nature.

Fear makes a man complete, forcing him to overcome himself

so the possibility of freedom becomes real.

Yes—fear and weakness are necessary,

as both are solved and overcome only through God
