I am a resilient man, yes,
but I have enough demons entrenched
within the strongholds of my own soul
to last me a life time of wars.
They afford me no time
for the petty grievances
I have against others.
So let me fight my own battles
and I will leave you to yours.
Nothing you do can incite me more
than I incite myself.
The longest shadow
is the one I cast behind me.
And it follows me everywhere...
but the darkest of places.
