I Rise Above You

I rise above you When you look in contempt I'll smile at you When you will fight my spirit I give in to you You torture my one person I fragment on you You will not capture my soul only this husk I don't need the mortal part you think you have The day you find me in your claws I will be free And I will look down on you with sorrow in my heart pity in my eyes a friendly word on my lips a gentle caress I rise above you *** June 18, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

This is very well written. I enjoyed every line especially the last. That's the way to tell them.

LOL, I am Empire, not Republic! I even have a seat at the Dark Council!!!!! Although, in my game they are united at the moment, working together. Isn't that awesome?

I am new to Poetry Soup, I have read your poem and I really liked it. I can relate to this very well. Kindness goes farther than a fist can throw. Tooth for a tooth, eye for an eye, never gets you anywhere but trouble and heartache. Be well fellow writer. :-)
