Ornery

They said slow down young man, pace yourself
As I made an effort to crush my soul every way
Let life destroy my fire?  Hell no, I'll do it myself
I refuse to feel sorry for the losses I will suffer
But I plan to fight til there is nothing at all left
The truth is, life's cost has already been paid
And if I can't do it to myself, I'll fail the test
Life offers only what you are able to take
My life is a prayer unexpressed
So I leave upon one final quest
Mask on, here I go
