This is who I am, can you claim the same thing.

Who Am I 

I am soldier or spy, 

I am hero or villain. 

I have looked into the heart of darkness, 

I have seen the other side, 

And turned around again. 

I have saved a hundred lives, 

And taken thousands more. 

You might not think it to look at me, 

But I have commanded armies, 

And conquered worlds. 

I saved the world today, 

What did you do? 

I am the hero of many battles, 

But others see my darker side, 

It's me both black and white. 

I have felt the sword rest in my hand, 

And slain without remorse. 

I have been tested against a foe, 

Who's of no woman born, 

And won. 

Who am I? 

Why, I am a gamer of course. 

You may say its all just fantasy, 

My deeds were never real, 

But why? 

I've saved the earth, 

And conquered it. 

My ships have plied the depths of space, 

I've stalked primeval jungle, 

Have you? 

My fantasy achievements, 

Show no lack of shine. 

I have seen wonders you will never know, 

I have been worshipped and despised, 

But at least I can say I have lived.
