The Strong Ones

The strongest face their struggles much longer.
They have less time to aimlessly wander.
Great battles of strength and mind they must face,
They ardently run into every challenge or  race.
Risking what they hope is worth nothing,
Just in case it soon comes to nothing.
They desperately hope they will be remembered,
But also they hope that the memories don't linger.
A mournful burden isn't what they hope to provide
All the while sacrificing their lives.
They battle the thought of being remembered,
their foes, the elements and their mind all at work,
Complicating and tangling a picture
Making it hard for even the strong ones to survive
As they survive they are fighting much more
Making them all the more likely to not return from their last tour.
