I have no brothers
Only sisters

My blood is made up of cowboys and addicts in part
And strong men
And fierce women

For the most part, we are winners

But like I said,
I have no brothers
Only sisters

I’ve made brothers along the way though
Each of them a dark force
Shaping me like a stone

I’ve looked into my own darkness thru them
Seen the light

I’m not the biggest
The toughest
Or the smartest
But there is one quality unique to me
And that is bravery

Sometimes my brothers howl like the wind
Or rattle chains of lies and deception
Filling me with a rage enough to blacken the sun

But my bravery has remained

Few men have it, few people have it

In the future, I’ll take on many more shapes
Places, peoples and race
Because I am brave

Because I am king
