Fighting me

You tried

To win my soul

Giving me pain

To not do

My spirit journey

You fought me all

The way

Through flatland

Foothills, mountains..

To the seas..

In the cities

While I slept

When I communed

With nature

When clear headed

When tired

You tried to change

My heart to stone

But you forgot

How I am the stone

The trees, the mountain

The water that flows

You tried to kill

Sent your leeches..

Nothing was able

To sway my mind

For my mind

Was made up all along

There was a time

When I felt almost defeated

You used every tool

You had..

But you see..my guides

Were with me

The bear, the wolf, the eagle

My companion guide

My gifts

My fire

Which belongs not to me

But to the Great One..

Who gave me the gifts

I treasure the journey

The time spent in the fight

Because now you know

I will not be bought

No matter what you are selling
