Undaunted

Undaunted

by dan ankers

With great love in my heart

I stand an entire world apart

With great passion for my enemies

and my friends alike

Sometimes my anger besieges me

Making me greedy for vengeance

Sometimes I cannot correct this

So I try and direct this

I wish that I could be

as great as others that I see

I wish I could be as great as me

when I am at my best

all the time

I fail so many miserable times per day

My head feels the shame

My heart feels the same

My muscles go weak

I am so ashamed

I cannot explain

I know that others feel it too

When they cannot be

the best that they wanted to be

I know this

This is what connects us all

Not the power in our greatness

But our undaunted nature

Within our shame

And our defeat
