Be My Guide

I know my weaknesses and I despise them, especially my inability to react to those bastards who sought to destroy my fragility This is a fact To walk away? A sign of cowardice? or strength? To draw deep, before my courage begins to seep Why can't I retaliate? This paralyzing state My lack of confrontation My weakness These things that grate, the things I hate, in my self This force within be my guide Confront my reality for I have tried, this spirituality for I do want to win It is a hard thing... to find......... Courage to bring, what you left behind, what you have tried........ Be my guide To lift one's head, release the clench from your heart Ignore what is said Before you start You know I have tried............... Be my guide These limited people too............. how mean and small............ their lives are, and what they do The names they call They just want you........... to fail These limited people fail So personally inside So miserably outside They have no guide, for often they have tried, to take my guide, on my lifes' trail These people have tried How small! When they know, you walk tall, and you have a guide
