I have always been a warrior, Full of the energy That gets **** done, A powerful man, A tank, Going where and with and doing Whatever the heck I want, But, like a tank, Impervious to the hurts Of others The pain and damage caused To roads and hearts, A tracked and nacissistic Behemoth of - as now I see - Blind unthinking chaos, Well no more of that **** With all that I am done, For I have found the joyous freedom To be gained by removing my helm, Opening the turret, To see and admit My mistakes And drive with consideration, I cannot mend the roads Nor undo all the harm Ive wrought, But I can be transparent now, Humble and chastened too, Rediscover that better me, The one worth loving, That authentic James And I can make a gift of him, Of me To you
