Walking Contradiction...
This life I live...
this love I give...
these lessons learnt...
...many undeserved...
yet this blessing...this
insight...this wisdom...
very much alive...
I am grateful evermore...
the sacrifices made...
within this knowledge found...
the spiritual need for me
to be this way...
I need not make sacrifices
...anymore...
...this pain in my memory
I sometimes recall...
...to protect my hindsight...
from a fateful fall...
...I see through your fake...
...no more of my spirit will you
take...
I will interpret all I have learned...
wrap it up gently...remember I am
not without hurt...
blessed with this wisdom...
interpret these once sacrifices...
to fight the good fight...
major hurdles in life...
I have overcome...
I am best prepared as best
can be...for whatever...
whatever shall be...
...whatever shall be done...
for all good I believe...
