I had a random thought today
One of many I must say
Racing through a not so distant past
Time has flown by so fast
Many things have changed with time
But some have stayed as if by design
All the fights I’ve been through in life
All the sleepless nights do to strife
But one constant I came to realize
Is how strong I’ll stand for the demoralized
How hard I’ll swing for someone bullied
Or the lady whose reputation sullied
I will not suffer a fool
Who uses a woman as a tool
Or the compensating man
Who rubs someone’s nose in the sand
But when it comes to me
I allow such ferocious brutality
I was taught how to fight for everyone else
But somehow never learned to defend myself
So I continue to take the beatings
While lifting all those whom I can
Set them all upon my shoulders
While the canes continue to strike my ribs
Bruised and flushed
Teeth gnashed and brow furrowed
All that goes through my mind
Is I take the pain today
So all those can live a day of peace tomorrow
A day away from sorrow
I have never learned to fight for myself
But for those in need I’ll bleed.
