I have found 

there is beauty 

in realising

the battle you have fought 

has not been against 

any foe

or evil

and that once you put down your sword

you will realise there is no one left to fight

for it was always 

you.


The author's comments:

This piece is reflecting the battle that we all face with ourselves. As humans we tend to doubt who we are and become overly ciritical of ourselves. It's important to understand that we have to love and accept who we are as induviduals before we can be sucessful and obtain our upmost potential. I believe that once we lay down the metaphorical sword we use to slice our own dreams we can have the ability obtain true peace and hapiness.
