Birthing Success

Shout and taunt me Push me down, Strip away my pride Leave me nude, Naked and confused. Look at my bone of Indignation Is this all you'd hoped to see I have more. The cloth of my skin Hides all As the cloth of man hides nought. Herein is to be found me Skin tight on flesh Flesh tight on bone Bone protecting all And beneath all I exist. That is where I live I chose that The site of my mansion It is built of dreams Furnished with hopes Delicate Yes. As eternal life Shall you find me Hunt me down, Trap me Skin me Mount me, Put my head Besides past victories Is there glory to be found? Glory sought? Yes. But I am better For I have life Eternal, till I die Each and every second My eternity. One's life is life Life all-encompassing Hide your dreams Your hopes In the womb, Of envisioned failure By others. Let it mature In their deception. Welcome it into the world, To the sound. Of your enemies wailing, At the pain. Of giving birth, To your success.
