I am not a poet. I am what I lack. I am a scholar that doesn't read Atleast the prose that you misinterpret. I am not strong. I am what I lack. I put these daily burdens on my back These ideas that break your bones. I am a demon with no inclination, Towards evil unless for myself. I am what I lack. These angelic guardians hold me close While your demons tie you down. I am apathetic I am patient I am death awaiting your final gesture To the gods I am nothing To man I am a riddle. What am I?
