Fight

Iron hardens to steel in each cell in every vein

Forming into an invincible chain

Willpower seeps into each chamber of the heart

Giving each the advantage, a little jumpstart

Words echo back, words like stupid, lazy, and slob

Each a stone on still water, but the ripples are building up

And with every moment that passes, more power is there

Causing the eyes glint with a dangerous, taunting dare

Bottling up soda and waiting for just the right shake

Then the cap will open and it will be all over the place

But one must be patient, the moment must be right

It could be in ten years, it could be tonight

It poisons the chain, the patience of red

Taking all that was good and rendering it dead

Left alone too long turns on itself

Try not to care, but it’s a hard thing to shelve

Finally one day, the words just slip out

And once the flood starts it doesn’t stop, truth will out

And it’s calm and understanding after the initial two fights

Eventually things will be better, Eventually things will be right
