Humble For My Own Sake

I do not turn the other cheek, so you can boast in my defeat, I do not love my enemies with but a smile, but earnestly, I humble my once proud heart in hopes to reach maturity. Ive had my share of battles fought, and scars to show for lesson taught still no reason conceit will ever I pursue or seek. I do bless when others curse to show my weakness with remorse but I becomes a broken horse. Following my master's righteous course. I find no joy in any pain but I pursue knowledge to gain an ever steadfast path in life not dictated by my strife, so I do none of these for you but for my certain peace of mind that when I'm struck down by another my heart still knows how to be kind.
