Only Matter Aged

No one can judge me better 
than i judge myself;
For no one truly sees 
the darkness where I reside,
And feel the fire within 
that burns my whole being.

If i don't do the things
that I do, I'll be living dead;
so please bear with me,
overlook my imperfections
and kindly just allow me to live.

 
"Don't cross the river
if you can't swim the tide."
I can, but I have an "inner current"
w/c, to me, is stronger than anyone's tide.
No amount of make up can 
COVER-UP an ugly personality";
but there is always an amount 
that can DRIVE a person blind or wild.
If you give but wait for payback;
you will not reap nor taste
the sweet joyful fruit of giving.
So give simply for the sake of giving
expecting nothing in return.
This is my abode,
They are my people,
These are my causes,
There are my battles.
I understand your fear,
I myself is intimidated by my guts.
War is peace' final option.
It is foolish not to think of war
when one dreams of peace.
