R-eflection isn't always easy to understand
A-bility to change your heart and mind
R-arely ever mingle together, hand in hand
E- very decision retried and refined
*
A-nother choice that life will place at your front door
N-ever shy away from challenges before you
D-etermination is your key to more than just endure, but to proudly wear the title, troubadour
*
U-ncommon is a goal that most don't rally for
C-ompetition begs you reach for something more
O-nce you set your sights; you have begun the war
M-ost start dropping bodies, keeping score
M-y opinion is, learn to be yourself
O-ver what society sets for you
N-o one ever lost the battle, if they choose to love themselves. Life's a race we're lucky to pass through

Disarmament
They say there's no atheism in the foxhole. While I wasn't currently neck-deep in a river of soft sediment, I was still praying to whoever would listen. Why am I doing this again? I would ponder while staring at the device that in no less than a minute could be my undoing. I scanned each and every variable panel and commonplace button as I watched the bright red L.E.D ticker countdown. No wires to cut, no code to put in, there was only one way to stop this infernal machine, and that incurred perfect timing.
