perception of perdition

I saw him again
he who I would eventually
grow and mature into
he was someone great

he had powers unlike any other
to help others, to defend the weak
to feed the hungry
a pure heart and mind

he fights for what he believes in
and somehow a divine gift within
his success didn't seem to come easy
you could see the pain and suffering
he endured to hone his skills

I'd wanna be like him
maybe eventually when I mature
I would achieve what he has
free from the bounds of the world
eternally.

a pure soul in mortal form
