Through battered flesh and bone unflinchingly,
He strides, a warrior etched in pain's decree.
No whimper escapes his lips, though shadows try
To weave their doubt, an unseen enemy.
His steps, a drumbeat steady and profound,
Ignore the whispers echoing around.
Blood paints his canvas, not of fear, but might,
Each crimson stroke a testament to fight.
His eyes, twin flames that pierce the veil of night,
Reflect a spirit forged in endless light.
Though muscles scream and tendons strain and tear,
His will ignites, a beacon burning clear.
He is the storm, unyielding in its wrath,
His weathered soul unburdened by the path.
The moon, a witness to his silent plight,
Casts pale reflection on his stoic might.
He walks, a titan, scars his battle cries,
A symphony of will that never dies.
