I AM STRONGER THAN MY OBSESSIONS (POEM)

I

I am stronger than my obsessions,

Though they be fierce and strong;

My will and mind shall be the lesson

To which they do not belong.

II

My courage is my shield,

My spirit is my sword;

No force of darkness can yield

My strength and courage to hoard.

III

My will is strong and sure,

My heart is brave and true;

My faith will ever endure

The darkness I must subdue.

IV

My obsessions may be strong,

But I am stronger still;

My courage will never be wrong,

My will is ever will.

V

My obsessions may be loud,

But I will not be cowed;

My spirit will be proud

And stand firm, unbowed.

VI

My strength will never waiver,

My courage will not tire;

My will will never waiver

In the face of any fire.

VII

My obsessions may be deep,

But I will stand my ground;

My courage will never sleep,

My will shall never drown.

VIII

My obsessions may be great,

But I will never yield;

My courage will be my fate,

My will will never yield.

IX

My obsessions may be fierce,

But I will never break;

My courage will never pierce

The strength of my will to take.

X

My obsessions may be strong,

But I will never fall;

My courage will be my song,

My will will stand tall.
