Life of a Zen Warrior

Lying in life's misery
Attempting to heal his emotions' injury
Life enjoys to play a game full of trickery
Enjoying life is a statement so contradictory

Licking the warrior's wounds
Humming to the fighter's tunes
Counting the lonely nights spent with the many moons
Building a fortitude of emotional cocoons

But the zen of the warrior never dies
He continues to fight and pain he defies
Failure after failure, he always tries
The undying spirit is what he relies

In constant calm and utter peace
Unruly emotions is what he attempts to decrease
Discipline is what he aims to increase
Anger and fury he will never please

Life can be a treacherous journey
Life can be a constant worry

Hardships are faced before glory
Just as heaven is presented after purgatory
