I'M Not Perfect But I'M Loyal

I’m not without sin
I’m not going to lie
Sometimes I fight dirty
I often cross that line

Every time I am wrong
I’ve taken stock and learned
I’ll accept any punishment
That my big mouth has earned

I’m harsh and abrasive
Or so I’ve been told
My words are not pretty
My chest bears no gold.

I am fiercely loyal
For my friends I will die
You’ll never break my spirit
But you are welcome to try.

Enjoyed this one. Loyalty and integrity plus a spirit of defiance. This world badly needs people of like courage on the side of truth.
