Simple Man

I am a man, polished and refined there's mystery in my eyes not easily defined I command my respect not with aggression not physical prowess or possession My will is of kindness, strength and transcendence not ill will, ego and vengeance. I have no need to impress anyone else I have confidence, trust and respect in myself No need to beat down and belittle another I use my strength to lift up my brother I will conquer my addictions, my demons and fears growing ever stronger throughout my years I will never stand idle and sit on a shelf I will forge temper and master myself
