Again

I breathe the summer air with a clear mind The riverside breeze gives blissful respite But looking over my shoulder I can see My callous old self grinning wildly I can't evade his determination He won't relent in the least He will never back down Until his mistakes Are repeated Again By Kyle Ezra Kriticos

Ah, the mistakes: but isn't that what gives us things to write about? Sometimes I think being human is a mistake. Love your poem Kyle, it probes a deeper thought.
