A Prayer to Steel

[mishalak]

I do not wish to surrender. I do not wish to lay down my sword, but to continue the fight when it seems all hands are against me? Everything depends upon not giving up, not giving in, for if I lose there is nothing. Never again to hope for greener days ahead, nothing more than flickering half existence until the end. I think nothing can save me, but I struggle on without hope, through battles without meaning or number.

Even writing down what I feel might betray me, for who shall trust one who writes the things I do? The masters of this world want loyal fiefs that do not just obey, but believe in every word they utter.

My heart desires sleep without any troubling dreams. But I shall keep one eye open, I shall run the stone across my imperfect steel until it shines, and I will go on though I can see no clear path before me. By uncertain light, by the moon and stars, I may falter but I am determined not to fail.
