Undying, Un wielding
By R. Cary
I resist, I rise, I will never die
My attempt to conquer the bounds of my body
I only fight, I rip, I tear this aether from this earth
Bounded to duty bound glory
My resilience my enemy of choice
My closest held fault
Blinded and naive I only move forward
Against and with I never resign
Willing my conscious, I will never die
Acts of compulsion, acts of desire
A philosopher’s hedonism of human born glory
This is my truth, my moral defunct of lacking
I scrape the pains of this earth with my pride
And ego inflating each day
To which I sing, this, my worst self
Who never lets go, who refuses to resist
Temptations of allegiance to blind faith
If this is the worst of me, then I accept me
And this is me, so get out of my way
Because my blind faith is bluer than the sky
End
Undying, Un Wielding
