On the way to peace
There will be compromise
Bearable and burdensome
But not be ignored

Followed you home, disrupted your dreams
Being the friend, you didn't want to need
Attacking your sense of self
Causing your integrity to bleed

Compromise has it’s part
Crowding belligerence from your heart
Deftly and subtlety enough
Not to tear your dignity apart

Compromise, welcomed or not
Births consequences unintended
To deal compromise it’s fatal blow
Be your peace and let your ego go
