the weakest ideals are never tested
the fire is a cold comfort
when you find rest deep in a cave
will your resolve hold when faced with cries of anguish
the darkness laments your peace
fearful men ask the stars to intervene
the fearless grab a torch and hunt the nights terrors
someone must sacrifice
ideals forged in blood and tears
become the laws of good men
we learn the truth
when we try and fail
what matters is who blinks first
when you go eye to eye with strife
peace is convenient
freedom is fought for
this is tried and true

I want nothing more than to dedicate my life to writing, so I figured I would start here to test the waters. I will be submitting stories to as many communities as possible.
