Grace;
I have ran a long while
locked inside a prison
of acceptance and belief in concert.  
doubt, fear, and resignation in turn
forged each chain, each bar,
and finally,
in the languid solitude of my soul
I found the tool of extradition
within mine own scarred soul I witnessed
as the pain that once tore me asunder
came forth to cut the bonds the held fast
Anguish is a sorry savior, forced, more than grasped…
yet save me it did,
my fetters it fell away  
Thus I owe a debt of honor to my new captive.
I feel for a new loss, one that the fire has consumed
yet regain a past triumph, long since thought lost
and so I raise my new born understanding high
and give sacrifice to that with gave me new birth
and to all on high I shun
to those below, I reach a hand
for I know why I even care

I thank you my suffering,
for being there.

till then,
Edd

Yeah suffering... at least the big guarantee is that no matter what, the bigger always pushes the smaller away.

Nice poem.

To wrestle is to live; to fight is to love.
