Speak Your Mind Scholarship Slam- Between Myself and I
I am the master,
the controller,
I am the seargent,
and I am the soldier.
I fight the battles;
I lose the wars,
I reap the winnings,
and forfiet the scores.
So this is my fight;
I fight for myself.
By myself.
Between myself.
You see:
I am the gavel,
I am the chains,
I am the victim,
and I am the blamed.
But I am still the loser,
all in all.
from beginning to end,
just myself
in thi one-sided brawl.
Give up the prisoner,
I say.
Go to Hell,
she says.
A slap,
A punch.
A pull,
A kick.
And it's just me all alone,
with myself,
a mess.
