Turn the Other Cheek

I screamed hateful words, I've done some things. I have been dishonest, I have Pulled some strings. I'm able to be easy or Wild like a beast. I have gone hungry, I have Prepared a feast. I can handle pain, I know what it is like to hurt. I have awakened face down lying in the dirt. I have self-discipline, Feet are on the ground. I have faced danger, I have been safe and sound. I love deeply and With passion. I pay attention to My gut reaction. When I love my, Soul ignites. I'm focused, I can Adjust my sights. I can problem solve, A semi-intelligent mind. I have led the way, I have fallen behind. When you listen, You quit speaking. To find someone, You stop seeking. To accept the facts, You have to handle the truth. I can be Fonzie cool and I can be uncouth. It is easy for me to Be captivated. Sometimes the story I Tell can be slightly fabricated. I can blend in or I can be unique. I will go toe to toe, Or turn the other cheek. Turbo1904 ?
