The Devil I'm Fighting

Introverted Sage

Careful with their every move.
Meditated - the path
must remain smooth.
Obscured by choice
yet commands all attention.
Left to assumptions
only hints true intentions.

By chance or by design.
Ping pongs within the minds.
Reverberations of the power they hold
becoming more and more frequent.
Action has cost no word ever lost
fighting to hold back their meanness.

Hatred to the core -
disdain for so much more.
Take a walk through hell,
just cause they were bored
Could be evil
through and through
but they've discovered
something new.

Jumping off the cliff
Goes much better
When you're not stiff.

    heartbreakingly profound
    reminds me of Ren's 'for joe'

      Ping pings with my mind.
      Denotes the powerful back and forth that is contained in all such journeys.
      Nice write good read

      • Introverted Sage

        For sure!
        The zig zag walk of the crab painstakingly necessary.
        Thanks!

        Enjoyed the rhyme in this one
        The fact you are writing about
        Leads me to believe you are at the very least holding your own in this battle
        If not already on top

          Thank you!
          Holding my own or just holding on is debatable lol
