It's such a shame
he went through life alone,
never knowing
his greatness
envious eyes upon him
never receiving praise,
only criticism.
He is smart enough
to realize his weaknesses,
and wise enough
not to act on them.
He knows short-term pleasures
rob you of long-term gains.
He understands
the lure of lust & violence
but more importantly
the beauty
in Restraint.
You went through the world
without Applause
completely unaware
of your power,
such a tragedy
to never learn your worth.
You,
You are the reason
for the strength in this world
that men, all men,
aspire to
yet undermine at the same time
simply because,
they will never live up to you.
