in the writing in your eyes
there is an honest fragility
of a heart maimed many times
that a silent anger shows, prickly

your clenched fist still has
in its veins a feeble fluid
it's your blood that runs so nice
untainted by deviance putrid

we should see it many times
the valiance of fighting for others
that includes self sacrifice
and words carefully uttered

for to inspire like you do
to be a beacon of thought and values
we have to first start nude
of all our conditionings and habits
