Favorite Quote:
“Sometimes following your heart means losing your mind.” -Ernest Hemingway


My tremendous legs, which rocked the earth

My racetrack screamed and sobbed with rage

My head held high, carrying my rider

My pulse was rushing, my chest was pounding, and my eyes were seeking


My mind was blank, I was focused on my purpose

My soul has a mission

My voice echoed in the thunderous jolts of the world around me

My legs devouring the track ahead 


My rider's cries for help were heard by his comrades

My task is clear and straightforward

My mane was blowing in the battle wind

My country on my back


My stable shoulders eager to be free of their shackles

My mouth gaping with anticipation

My life has been given to my rider

My life for my nation


My fortitude gave me my freedom

My freedom to anyone who can ride me

My freedom raining free in the sounds of the night

My freedom for myself
