Caliban, My Unwanted Soulmate

On certain days I feel an urge to flee selfishness and greed. But for my inner Caliban I truly might succeed. On other days I seek release from heartlessness and sloth, but again this Caliban keeps me attached to both. Betimes I hear a call to elevate my soul; oh, how gladly this call I would obey, but somehow Caliban always has a knack of getting in the way. I really don't like Caliban. I wish he'd go away, but I have an awkward feeling that he has come to stay. Despite my protestations I keep him all the same. When I commit an outrage, he's always there to blame.
