    Dignity

     Forces fighting one another
    What and who's to blame
    Dignity is sacred
    Yet all paths, they lead
    To shame.

    Knowing what is right
    And yet wishing what is wrong
    Is a fight I can't win arguing
    Just doing 'till it's done.

    As I walk this path alone
    Yet my feelings turn to stone
    What I work for
    Isn't done
    Not enough
    There is but one.

    Letting go is hard to find
    Walking through the dark as blind
    Stepping carefully to know
    What is in this boat I row?

    As I step into the hour
    Feast or foe up in the tower

    While I sit in newness of
    The truth that's boiling on the stove.

    In conclusion it is mine.
    Feasting on your words in time.
