Free Poetry a Tower of Power

A TOWER OF POWER           
There is power and there is might
there is the ability to summon what is in store for me
there is a way to shake off another lonely night
and that's what brings out the strength of the weakness in me

when I am tempted and my soul says no
it knows instinctively what I should and should not do
my heart tells me where and where not to go
and my basic nature tells me what is and is not true

some people heed that small voice inside
others decide to deride a derogatory dictum
some people have the will power to stay on grace's side
while still others become temptation's victim

there is the ability to summon strength when needed
and then there's the inability to decide what and who you want to be
whenever I feel like a fallow field un-seeded
that's what brings out the strength of the weakness in me
