So Be It!
The responsibility -
it cannot be shrugged off
or simply cast aside.
Actions bring consequences
and he would accept them.
Punishment...
disgrace...
he would take them all
and mold them,
turning the enmity
into a source of strength.
The more they mocked
the stronger he would become,
making him something unique -
a walking, talking lethal weapon.
He sucked up
the hatred;
let the contempt
flow through his bloodstream
turning his heart in to a
dangerous threat.
He bowed his head and made a vow;
he was not defeated
and never would be
for he had only been delayed.
One day,
some day
he WOULD be victorious
and for that
he could
wait.
