I Am First to Strike

A cycle of poems «I Trust Tempered Steel»

In the dawn's early light, I rise from the dark, 
With the fire in my heart, igniting the spark. 
Armored in courage, I stand tall and proud, 
A warrior's spirit, I roar like a crowd. 

I am first to strike, with the strength of the night, 
Charging through the shadows, ready for the fight. 
With my sword held high, I will never back down, 
In the heat of the battle, I wear my crown. 

Through the storm and the chaos, I carve my own way, 
Every challenge I face, I’ll meet it today. 
With honor as my shield, and valor as my guide, 
I'll fight for the fallen, for those by my side. 

I am first to strike, with the strength of the night, 
Charging through the shadows, ready for the fight. 
With my sword held high, I will never back down, 
In the heat of the battle, I wear my crown. 

Echoes of legends whisper in my ear, 
The tales of the brave who conquered their fear. 
I’ll carry their legacy into the fray, 
For the heart of a warrior will never decay. 

I am first to strike, with the strength of the night, 
Charging through the shadows, ready for the fight. 
With my sword held high, I will never back down, 
In the heat of the battle, I wear my crown. 

So let them come forth, let them hear my name, 
A warrior’s journey is never in vain. 
With each clash and roar, my spirit ignites, 
For in this fierce world, I am first to strike.
