I watched braveheart tonight.
In the end, the protagonist endures extreme suffering and pain, torture and cruelty, all because he refused to lie down for what he believed in. He believed in freedom, and would not bend to the will of those who would oppress him.
It is good for me to watch these sort of movies.
Times lately are trying, financial, physical, and emotional wise.
But it is good to know that I have reason to stand up for what I believe in. No longer will I be quick to look at the ground and to keep my tounge back. My vow is to speak my heart through my mind, that I may be the person I truly am Inside, not what other's would want me to be or what I feel would put me in a position of power, friendship, or love. I will earn what love will come to me, and by the will of God I will have my love and I will have my friendship and it will be mine not the person I have portrayed.
So I will be my own warrior poet, and I will earn what I shall have in the future, and I will not expect anything to be given to me.
