Conflict of the Conqueror ~ Poem

To tread the narrow pathway on your crusade for a more rewarding existence will prove to be a lonely journey. Once begun there is no retreating only repositioning, no hesitation only deep thinking. Life will never be the same again for you.

Very few will understand your quest for mastery over the skills and desires you must fulfil. But there are others in front of you who have walked in the same footsteps, they are there, and you must search, persist, discipline your mind and resolve to find them, they are your tribe. You will never find them looking behind you.

​As sad as it may seem life changes, people change and for you to achieve a greater level of happiness and security you too must change.

​Now your journey has begun you must never ever, ever return to where you once belonged, keep moving forward and conquer your life, there are no more rehearsals, this is it, keep the faith and put one foot in front of the other.

Conflict of the Conqueror

​Never return. Never return.
Never return to the haunts of your youth.
Keep to the path, remain stern,
Even memory distorts the truth.

Never return. Never return.
Never succumb to their tireless glare.
Keep to the track, always learn,
They will never meet you there.
 
Never return. Never return.
Your destiny has been blessed to me.
Cross the bridges, let them burn,
Now let your faith see.

Never return. Never return.
Never become your glorious past.
Keep to your path, never adjourn,
Treat every day as your last.

Never return. Never return.
Surrender to your desire.
Should you not learn,
Never extinguish the internal fire.

Never return. Never return.
Never fall into the lion’s lair.
Keep firm, remain stern,
Your life beckons, if you dare.
