I Walk Tall


I walk tall

So that I wont't fall

It's not that I'm strong

Bt most likely because I'm wrong

 

I know best

About all the rest

Not punishing others

But condemning my brothers

 

I hate hubris

To which my fighting is fruitless

It's in my own character flaws

that I find my inheritor clause

 

I must stop here

For I fear

If I go on

My words will be gone
