A Martial Arts Poem

I came across this poem the other day, thought I'd share it with you all.

"I am a martial artist." I see through different eyes. 
I see a bigger picture when others see grey skies. 
Though many can't conceive it, I stand...facing the wind. 
My bravery, not from fighting, but from my strength within. 

I am a martial artist. I'll walk the extra mile. 
Not because I have to, but because it's worth my while. 
I know that I am different, when I stand on a crowded street. 
I know the fullness of winning, I've tasted the cup of defeat. 

I am a martial artist. They say I walk with ease. 
Though trained for bodily harm, my intentions are for peace. 
The world may come and go, but a different path I'll choose. 
A path I will not stray from, no matter, win or lose. 

-Karen Eden
