When Warriors Need to Tap Out

Echoes of the silent fight, shadows in the moonlight

Whispers of a warrior’s soul, hidden out of sight

Standing tall amidst the storm, scars written on my face

Battles fought within my mind, trying to keep the pace

Pain is a silent scream, echoing through my bones

But I wear my armor proud, even when I feel alone

I’ve known the crushing weight, the tears I tried to hide

A warrior’s heart still beats, though sometimes I ignite

Hurt runs deep, but I won’t fall

Strength is in the way I stand tall

Even warriors need to tap out sometimes

Break the silence, find the light

I’m a fighter, I endure the night

But even warriors lose their fight, that's why

I tap out, I reach for the sky

It’s okay to fall, to lose the grip

Strength is knowing when to let it slip

Pain is real, but so am I

Rising from the ashes, ready to try

So here I stand, battered but brave

In the end, it’s okay to cave

Because even warriors need rest, that’s right

To come back stronger, ready for the fight
