Strong Yet Weak

Strong Yet Weak

What is my greatest weakness?
I don't really even have to think.
I can say with great finesse,
"Stubborn" often brings me to the brink.

Stubborn makes it hard to rejoice
when someone else is smarter or faster.

Let not the Devil be my master.
To God above I'll raise my voice!

What perchance would I list,
When asked about my best asset?
If i see another ruled by a fist
I'll give a stern lecture, sure, you bet!

Do the masses see or even care?
Those who suffer injustice must be free.

Because my greatest asset is, you see,
I'm just as "stubborn" when life's unfair.
