What care I for those
who choose to diminish
my very existence

those malevolent beings
who proclaim their own
unquestioned magnificence
whilst they sneer at the
concocted imperfections
of others

am I not, in the eyes
of the Almighty,
master of my own fate
Am I not equally loved
by Him, the Redeemer
of all men

this evil bile regurgitated
by heartless men is
less than nothing
in the final tally

to endure this outrage
is a test of my courage,
my worth,
and I wear the scars
with unabashed pride

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Wow, this is some of the coolest work I've seen on PiPs in a long time. I really dig your voice. Good opening and great closing. You didn't lose my interest once, which is hard these days. Thanks for the read, I really enjoyed it. Cheers    - Ed

That was pure enlightenment for some people and it was said beautifully.
