We are...

By Deviated09

At last I have found the fountain of youth
Hence where I may be released from all inhibitions
I have the power, the strength, the dignity.
You will all see what I have become.

This collective, this fine group..
We have overcome so much over the years.
For the lifelong struggle may finally be nearing a close,
I know our luck will continue to hold out a bit longer.

The fights and troubles we have been in..
The struggles and losses we have overcome..
The destitution and sacrifices we have made...
All of this shall not be done in vain.

We are the mighty, we are the strong.
We have not fallen, we are not weak.
We transcend the commoners we live among,
yet.. They are equal to us all.

Never forget where you came from, my friend.
For, one day, that cripple may be your last hope.
We are the protectors of society.
We are what is left of the greater discipline.

Follow in our footsteps so that we may follow in yours.
We are here as long as we are needed to help.
Help us to help yourself, this cannot be won alone.
We are... The hope in us all.
