Eskimo Snowman Fighting White Fire

I know very little about life a fact of which i am freely willing to admit And I take it not as an offense when I am proven wrong although I am headstrong But stubborn ain't a fault I am willing to be labeled with Otherwise why on earth am I so proficient at it or am I even lying about that If anything what I have learned over time is that trying to argue a case or point with a certain type of person You can do so till you are blue in the face but all you have in fact done or achieved Is wasting your own time because they call do all day and love nothing better than their own voice Matter's not a single thing what is coming out as they have never once been beat or proved wrong And they have taken on all comer's however intelligent they are or what argument they offer up in response They all every single one of them tried but gave up due to to their superior intellect they eventually realized The self-righteous can not be bettered nor overcome as the only thing they truly believe in is what comes out and is said by them Everything else is superfluous and not up for debate or changing Even if they were on fire and you we're stood in front of them with an extinguisher telling them they themselves were on fire burning did they want putting out They are still and would be so inclined to say thank you very much but no sorry I am cold You don't per chance have a spare jacket on you do you Because id very much like to carry on where we last left off before we got so rudely interrupted by this freakishly cold indoor spell Unfortunately for both of us when it comes to this here game the rules are clear as black and white 2 individual opponents stacked against 1another playing by completely different rules 1in his own head making it up as he goes along to suit himself completely oblivious to the fact that he is cheating With the other trying his best to catch up until he eventually gives up realizing How on earth can you let alone compete much as win against an inferior opponent If at the very outset they don't or never will possess or understand the meaning or definition Of what winning is or that loosing equates to defeat

Thank you Becky From reading your poems I'd have to say I wouldn't say you definitely arent that person. If you were you wouldn't be able to even admit to a need to change
