Finally I learnt to tame the Beast
Take control of whom I’m to be
Not let my emotions get the better
Reflecting a much calmer me.
I have so often. So long been angry
Not understanding the reasons for war
Whether fighting in the playground as children
Or bullied by countries afar?
Fear is a terrible concept
As fear is the only response
Forcing us weaker to bow or grow stronger
Or join something bigger, as strong.
Early on I learned my true pathway
I always knew I was better off alone
I never really had anyone as back-up…
My successes where always mine to own.
As I grew stronger I understood those much weaker
Including bullies I encountered each new day
Mostly I would not seek retribution…
But others I really made them pay.
But as I said “The Beast” is now sleeping
And if he wakes I will have control
No more will the battlefield just call me
The choice will be mine and mine alone!
