True Grit

You see my shining armor, perched upon a noble steed
I've come to save the day, again, complete my goodly deed

What lies beneath is clean cut
Warm and polite and caring
Mild mannered and not overly daring

Lacking confidence to carry forward
I often sit and hide
Shy to talk to strangers
For fear of what they think

My skin seems thin at times
But lurking deep beneath
A warrior lies patiently
Awaiting his chosen time

The warrior inside me
Rarely showing through
I've banished him to the inner realms
For I fear no good he'll do

True grit is whats inside me
Warrior blood and pride
Grit is what I never show
For I know its not enough

He won't back down, against all odds
He'll always win his fight

I don't have any confidence
To let him wander free

But know that deep inside of me
True Grit is what I be
