I Rode

I rode rivers raging over sharp rocks

Don’t tell me I cannot fight

I soared with eagles over wide-open planes

Don’t tell me I cannot see

I wrestled the lions of my thoughts with a hand-sharpened spear

Don’t tell me I cannot think

I have fought friends and enemies and myself

Don’t tell me that I do not know
Don’t tell me that I do not know
Don’t tell me that I do not know.
