My Head Is Erect

MY HEAD IS ERECT

                                                  Met
                                               at  best
                                            conflict-strife
                                          throughout my life.
                                          Always struggled lot
                                           As a loner I fought                                                         
                                 Tried to keep head erect,
                                 as my ideals could direct.
                      Malice or meanness pushed to sink and drown.
                         Never going to allow me drag down.
