Strength you Ascertain - Sonnet DCCXI

Missing image

 David and Goliath by Caravaggio

 

 

If by small, you tower above my gaze,

commit it to an escapade self sown

to comfort the upheaval of your ways,

conceives to understanding them alone.

I ask you if by strength you ascertain,

distinction to the merits of your being,

aware that to the many, they contain

an eagerness for self to not be seeing.

When confidence is thine, the so called win,

has willed the deep discretion to a crawl

how tall you once were high, can I within

be thought as egos stand, to see it all.

If what you see has comforted your fears

then look again - discretion for your tears.

    Good write...The power to overcome, the strength of another by breaking the spirit...is not worth the tears it cost to play the game...
