Hold your head up high

You are born for a reason.

Stand up boy! The death of those before you, by tragic necessity, has thrust upon you the fiery torch. Summon those demons from the black abyss of human courage inside you, summon the will that you shall not be left down below. Know this: history will belong to you. Make them write about you. Make his children look longingly at you, wishing they were yours instead.

Stand up boy! You're alone here - no woman, no gold, no cloud will go to battle with you. You're no son's father, no lover's support, no king's pawn. Unfettered, undiscovered and untouched - you alone carry the fire on which the pinnacle of future human endeavor depends.

Stand up boy! For you are the prince. Greatness awaits you. Dispel those repugnant notions of mediocrity that pragmatism demands, and rip apart the gossamer black-iron moral links that tie you down. Stand atop the mountain with your arms spread out, arch your back, fill your lungs with bitter cold air, and scream out to the world that you have arrived.

Stand up boy! Hold your head up high.
The World is yours to conquer.

I told you I wanted to start drawing, remember? :) It's the paper+scan combination.

And oh, the reason "rip apart the gossamer..." line's there is because it's my journal.

damn. I must grudgingly admit its well drawn.

... and yeah, it wouldn't be your journal without a line like that ;)

... and why did you have to ruin it with "rip apart the gossamer black-iron moral links" ?

Rum-balls, maybe?

The wind was a torrent of darkness
among the ghastly trees
the moon was a ghostly galleon
tossed upon the cloudy seas
The road was a ribbon of moonlight
over the purple moor
when the highwayman came riding,
riding, riding,
the highwayman came riding
up to the old inn door.

He'd a french cocked hat at his forehead
a bunch of lace at his chin
a coat of claret velvet
and breeches of brown doe-skin
They fitted with nary a wrinkle
his boots were up to the thigh
and he rode with a jeweled twinkle
his pistol butts a-twinkle
his rapier hilt a-twinkle
under the jeweled sky.

And over cobbles he clattered
and clashed in the dark inn-yard
and he tapped with his whip on the shutters
but all was locked and barred
He whistled a tune to the window
and who should be waiting there
but the landlord's black-eyed daughter
Bess, the landlord's daughter
plaiting a dark red love knot
into her long black hair.


Ride slowly into the night, Highway Man, those rum-balls could well be poison-berries!
