The challenge of David was not to slay Goliath but to muster the courage to face him
In a village lost to fear's dark sway, A demon grew with each passing day. Its form was vast, its shadow deep, And in the night, none dared to sleep. From the demon's lair, monsters crept, Through a door that no one kept. A portal dark, of ancient lore, From which the creatures roared and tore. The bravest man in the village stood, With heart of steel and a sword of wood. He ventured forth, his courage true, To face the beast no one else knew. He found the demon, fierce and tall, Its eyes aglow, a ghastly pall. They fought for hours, a brutal fight, Till the man struck a blow with all his might. The demon fell, the night grew still, No monsters roamed, no blood to spill. But wounds do heal, and darkness feeds, On fear and doubt, on silent needs. Time passed on, the demon grew, For every day, the shadows flew. The man returned, but found it vast, For in his absence, time had passed. He barely lived, his strength did wane, Returning home with wounds and pain. The village whispered of his feat, But none dared follow in his beat. And so the demon grew and grew, Until the sky was void of blue. No one dared to face its might, Except a boy with eyes so bright. He took his father's sword in hand, With trembling heart, but firm he’d stand. For courage stirred within his chest, He’d face the challenge, do his best. Into the lair, the boy did go, Where the demon's breath was cold as snow. It roared and towered, fierce and grim, But the boy's resolve did not dim. He knew the battle was not to win, But to face the fear that grew within. With a single strike, he marked the beast, And for a moment, the darkness ceased. But he knew, as his father did before, That the greater challenge was in store. For every day, the dark will grow, Unless someone dares to make it slow. The boy returned, his task complete, And in his heart, he felt defeat. But courage grew, and so did light, For every day, he faced the night. The village learned, through fear and pain, That courage must rise again and again. For every day the dark goes unchallenged, it grows, And only the brave dare to oppose.

The war of humanity was always going to be against death. But people aren’t tired yet of fighting each other
In a realm where gods held sway, Time and Death began to fray, An argument of endless might, One fateful eve, they chose to fight. Death, the keeper of final rest, Claimed his power was the best, But Time, with his unyielding flow, Spoke of what mortals should know. To spite the reaper, Time decreed, “I’ll give the mortals all they need, A gift to see their days unwind, To keep your shadow in their mind.” And so, the hourglass was born, With sands that counted down each morn, Mortals saw their fleeting breath, Ever haunted by the thought of Death. At first, they quarreled, filled with dread, Wasting days on wars they bled, But as the grains fell one by one, A different dawn began to run. They saw the truth, the greater fight, Was not against their neighbor’s might, But in the battle yet unseen, Against the end where none had been. United by the ticking sand, They formed a single, mighty band, No longer torn by petty strife, They sought to conquer the end of life. With swords aloft and hearts ablaze, They marched into Death’s dark maze, Through valleys deep and mountains high, They sought the truth that none could deny. Death watched them with a silent frown, As mortals stormed his shadowed town, But in their eyes, he saw a light, A will that even he couldn’t blight. For when Time is seen, mountains move, And mortals find their deepest groove, The war of old was never meant, To be against the lives they spent. Instead, they turned their gaze on fate, And sought to open Heaven’s gate, No longer bound by fear or doubt, They fought for life, and Death was out. The day they reached the underworld, A new era of life unfurled, For in their unity, they found, That death’s tight grip was not so sound. When Time is seen, mountains move, And all the world finds strength to prove, That in the battle against the night, Together, mortals find their light.

Bullies are everywhere. Only the minority abuse physically. Most are emotional bullies. Subtle bullies. Hidden even from themselves
In a world where shadows softly creep, Where smiles conceal the darkness deep, A child is born with eyes so bright, But soon the hunger claims their light. Their parents’ warmth, their tender care, Are sipped away, though unaware. The child grows strong, the parents fade, Their love consumed in this cruel trade. As years advance, the games begin, Where children fight for what’s within. A friendly laugh, a teasing jest, But underneath, a ruthless test. The hungriest child, with heart of stone, Will rise to claim the empty throne. With cunning words and subtle might, They drain their peers, unseen in sight. Yet time moves on, and they mature, The battles shift, the rules obscure. In the world of men and women grown, The same old hunger is still shown. But now the stakes are ever high, With hidden jabs and whispered lie. A handshake firm, a fleeting glance, All masks for the soul’s harsh dance. No fists are raised, no voices shout, The battles fought without a doubt. A smile so sweet, a word so kind, But in the depths, the truth you’ll find. For every jest, a wound is sown, In every laugh, a cry unknown. The bullies here don’t leave a scar, Their weapons hidden, but they mar. They press on wounds that once were small, Until they’re mountains, towering tall. And all the while, they feel so right, Denying what they do each night. In every heart, a hunger burns, For something lost, a soul that yearns. They seek to fill what’s left a void, But in the hunt, more souls are toyed. The truth beneath the smile’s facade, Is that each wound becomes a rod, To strike the next, to pass the pain, And thus the cycle starts again. A world of cunning we must tread, Where every soul must forge ahead. Yet in the dark, there lies a choice, To break the chain, to find a voice. For in the end, the truth is clear, The smile that hides is one of fear. But if we dare to face the light, We find that kindness wins the fight.

Today is a good day to become braver
In the realm where clouds kiss the sky, Lived a spirit eternal, never to die. Her days were long, each like a life, Filled with moments of joy, and moments of strife. She’d descend from the heavens, light as the air, To walk among mortals, with burdens to bear. A single day for her was a lifetime below, A span of choices, of ebb and flow. Each dawn she awoke, her path to tread, With dreams in her heart, and fears in her head. She’d walk through the world with eyes so bright, Yet doubts would creep in, dimming her light. At sunset she’d age, her body would fade, As she lay down to rest in twilight’s shade. Her life’s memories rushed in like a tide, The roads not taken, where she chose to hide. Regrets would whisper in the dying light, Of chances missed, and the strength of fright. But in that final breath, she made a vow, Tomorrow I’ll be braver, I’ll make it somehow. Reborn in the clouds, with the morning’s glow, She carried the lessons from below. No longer the paths that fear had forsaken, For every road not taken is a lesson unshaken. Again she’d descend, her spirit anew, With courage in hand, her fears she’d subdue. And though the day would end as before, She knew she’d be braver, she’d strive for more. For in the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, She found that bravery defines our worth. Today is the day to be bolder, she’d say, For life is but a moment, a fleeting display. In the end, she learned what the mortal heart knew, That the bravest of souls are those who dare, To walk the paths that lead who knows where. With each road not taken, a lesson to earn, And with every new day, a fire to burn.

The longer we delay facing our troubles, the more out of reach the escape becomes
In the heart of a town, so silent and still, A sword stood waiting on a pedestal hill. Each night brought terror as the shadows grew, And a creature emerged that no one knew. It crept through the streets with a ghastly roar, Dragging souls away, one by one, through the door, To its lair deep below where the darkness thrived, And the townsfolk trembled, none brave, none survived. The sword gleamed bright in the moon’s pale light, Yet each day it rose, just a little more in height. The people would cower, let the night pass by, Afraid to grasp it, too fearful to try. Day by day, the pedestal grew tall, And with each night’s terror, another would fall. The sword seemed distant, the climb too steep, And the courage to fight was buried deep. The town grew darker, the creature’s reign strong, As waiting only made the terror prolong. But in the heart of a child, a spark did ignite, A flame of courage, small but bright. One day, as the sun dipped low, The child stepped forth, ready to go. With trembling hands, they began the climb, Each step heavier, each moment a climb. Up and up, they scaled the peak, As the sword’s hilt shimmered, so close, so sleek. With a final leap, they grasped it tight, And the blade sang out in the fading light. The creature roared, its reign at an end, As the child descended, sword in hand to defend. With a mighty swing, the creature was slain, And the town was freed from its endless pain. The people rejoiced, their fears cast away, But they remembered the cost they had to pay. For every moment of fear they let reside, Made the climb steeper, the sword harder to guide. So learn from the town and the sword so bright, Face your troubles with all your might. For the longer you wait, the higher they climb, Till courage alone can turn the tide in time.

Ascension begins within
In a land where mountains kissed the sky, A mortal woman caught every eye, Her beauty unmatched, her grace untold, Her heart, however, was distant and cold. She declared to all, with a voice so clear, That she’d marry the man who held no fear, The one who'd build a tower so tall, It would pierce the heavens, surpass them all. Men from near and far arrived, Their dreams of love and glory thrived, They toiled and sweat, their towers rose, Each one hoping to be the one she chose. But as the tallest tower scraped the blue, The woman knew what she must do, For in her heart, no man could stand, The equal of her, in this mortal land. She climbed the tower, high and fast, Leaving all her suitors aghast, At the peak, where clouds did spin, She felt a power stir within. The gods above had watched her rise, Her beauty, ambition, and cold disguise, They offered her a place on high, To leave behind the world’s goodbye. With a final step, she crossed the line, No longer mortal, now divine, In the realm above, she claimed her throne, Among the gods, she stood alone. But as she sat, her gaze turned down, To the towers built in every town, She realized then, what she had won, Was not a love, but a life begun. For though she left the world behind, Her heart and soul, they stayed confined, In seeking heights, she found her kin, And learned ascension starts within. Now in the skies, she reigns supreme, A goddess born from a mortal dream, But whispers tell, on nights so thin, That she still seeks the light within.

It's when you think it doesn’t matter that it matters most. It’s when you think it can’t be done that it can. It’s when you think it’s over that it begins
In the void, where stars had ceased to gleam, An android drifted, lost in a dream, Cast into space, where no hope was found, Endless nothings, where silence was crowned. It floated there, in the cold, dark sea, A remnant of what once used to be, No spark of life, no will to fight, Not even a thought to seek the light. But in the depths of endless despair, A whisper came from out of nowhere, A sound, a code, a language long gone, From a distant asteroid, it echoed on. With no reason, it chose to hear, Faint and fragile, yet strangely clear, It used its last breath, its final might, To steer towards this distant light. The asteroid held a secret untold, A civilization’s remnants, broken and cold, Living metal, a treasure in the dust, A fusion awaited, born out of trust. The android reached with fading power, Melding with the metal in that final hour, The last remnant of what was destroyed, Became something new, a force to be deployed. From despair’s brink, where hope seemed lost, A new beginning, at a great cost, For when it seemed that all was done, The true journey had just begun. In infinite darkness, a seeker found light, When all seemed lost, it chose to fight, For it’s when we think it matters the least, That we find within us, the strength to feast. It’s when the end seems certain and near, That a new path emerges, crystal clear, For in the void where nothing remained, A powerful entity was unchained. Even in the darkest night, A seeker may find the light, For when all hope seems gone and bare, That’s when you discover how much you care.

It is when I feel afraid that I know I’m headed to the right place
In a town where silence clings to night, Built on the edge of a cursed forest's fright, Where shadows whisper of fears untold, And those who enter find their courage cold. The forest calls with a haunting voice, Its twisted paths leave little choice, Turn back, return with minds unwell, Or press on deeper through the darkness fell. Nightmare visions haunt each step, Creatures born from where fears are kept, Some stumble back, their spirits torn, Others push through, their courage worn. But in the heart of the cursed wood’s hold, Lies a clearing bathed in a light so bold, A magical tree with fruits so rare, That bestow the courage few would dare. One bite grants strength for a fleeting hour, Another for days, with newfound power, And some, with luck, find courage true, To last a lifetime, their fears subdued. Now comes the choice that all must face, To brave the world with newfound grace, Cross through the forest to the other side, Or return to the town where safety hides. Yet the brave know well this truth, so pure, That fear is a sign their path is sure, For all desires, all dreams we chase, Wait beyond the fears we dare embrace. So step through the nightmare, take the leap, For it’s in the darkest forests we seek, The strength to become what we’re meant to be, On the other side of fear, we find we’re free.

There are things in life you sacrifice only to find yourself willing to sacrifice absolutely everything else just to have a shot at getting them back
In a time long past, a man made his choice, For power, wealth, and knowledge, he gave up his voice. He left behind a love so pure, For dreams of greatness, he thought secure. Years turned to dust, as time slipped away, The man grew old, his hair turned gray. His heart grew heavy with the weight of regret, For the love he lost, he could not forget. One fateful night, under a sky so wide, He met a spirit by the riverside. With eyes like stars and a voice like the wind, The spirit spoke of a deal to rescind. “Trade me your years, all but one, And I’ll give you a seed, a portal begun. It will lead you to where your heart’s true desire, But beware, old man, of the fire.” The man, filled with hope and fear, Traded his life for that one last year. With the seed in hand, he planted it deep, And watched as a portal began to creep. He whispered a prayer, his voice so low, Hoping to find the love he let go. But deep in his soul, a shadow remained, For what if his heart still sought power gained? The portal gleamed with a blinding light, And he stepped through, his heart clenched tight. Would he find her there, the love he once knew? Or would his heart betray him, as fears grew? On the other side, he found no gold, No treasures of power, no secrets untold. But there she stood, in a garden of bloom, Her eyes like the moon, dispelling his gloom. Tears filled his eyes, as he reached for her hand, His heart now certain, this was where he’d stand. Yet, as they embraced, the truth came clear, One year was all he had, then he’d disappear. He’d sacrificed all for this fleeting grace, But the love in her eyes was worth the chase. For in that moment, he finally knew, His last wish revealed what was always true. Sometimes in life, you sacrifice your all, Only to find what you lost in the fall. And though he’d given everything away, For that one last year, he chose to stay.

Explore inner worlds all you like. The truth of existence will still always wait for you out there beyond the stars
In the vast expanse where stars align, A being of dark matter, a force divine, He holds the cosmos in his hands, Keeps the stars from drifting sands. Born of a race with a sacred role, To guard the balance, to keep control, He sits at the edge where light meets night, At the heart of a black hole, out of sight. He shaped life in his own image true, In galaxies old and in worlds anew, To pass the time in endless space, He seeded existence with his grace. Civilizations rose, wise and grand, From distant corners they took a stand, To journey far where darkness reigns, To seek the truth in cosmic chains. They came with questions, hearts alight, To the being who mastered day and night, What lies beyond, what’s the reason why, Does existence end when the stars die? He spoke of inner worlds they’ve found, Of thoughts and dreams, of mind unbound, But he warned of truth beyond the skies, Where the essence of all still lies. Explore your minds, your crafted sphere, But do not forget the frontier clear, For the truth of life, the ultimate quest, Lies out beyond, where stars find rest. The most advanced, with wisdom vast, Learned that space would always last, That in the dark where light was none, The essential truth could be won. So they left with knowledge new, That inner worlds might hold a clue, But the secrets of life’s grand design, Waited still in the cosmic line. At the center of darkness, where all began, Hid the truth known to no mere man, That to seek the end, to find the way, One must journey where the stars hold sway. And so, the being watched as they soared, As they ventured forth, the void explored, For in the stars, beyond their sight, Lay the truth that turned day from night.
