Fatal Flaws
A fatal flaw is something
That is part of personality.
It's something that eventually
Destroys a person ultimately.
Everybody has
A fatal flaw.
For some it is freedom,
For others it's the law.
For some it is
Their darkest fears,
Like heights or growing old
And outnumbering friends in years.
Many men and women
Do not know the thing
That is their fatal flaw
Which will, to them, destruction bring;
Destruction that
May be physical,
Or just as well
Might be emotional.
Physical destruction
Is things like broken bones and death;
Emotional destruction
Is things like breathing Eternal Sorrow's breath.
Unlike most others,
I know my fatal flaw.
It isntpride or pain,
And isnt grudges or even problems with the law.
My fatal flaw is not
Common amoung those of villainy.
My fatal flaw
Is personal loyalty.
Which means I would sacrifice
Anything to save a friend,
Even if it would mean
I would have to meet my end.
