no shoes
no booze
feet kiss hardcore concrete
no light
this night
i stumble to the beat
of fools
and ghouls
intent upon my kill
my sighs
my cries
prime fuel for their thrill
no tears
no fears
no empathy or grudge
no fright
no flight
no clarity or smudge
yet i
defy
the folly of vain men
whose lives
like knives
verse blood milk from my vein
no word
e’er heard
from pages that i write
shall bless
the mess
pride makes of wisdom’s plight
my days
always
shall leave a heritage
of joy
no ploy
can mimic on life’s stage

You will leave a heritage of such wisdom and beauty, so many incredible pages. I got a little Halloween feel off the 'of fools and ghouls' - one of my favorite holidays so it's on the mind. ;) That aside,
For me, the first stanza captures all of those challenges and obstacles, people, habits, and vices that might prevent us from reaching our potential.
The second is the ability to have the strength and courage to get past these things.
The third conveys such wisdom in having overcome these things in life and leaving a legacy and heritage that means something and will be remembered.
I love it, very powerful. To accomplish this is no small feat, but that someone of your depth, wisdom, and strength can.
Really powerful write about human nature, challenges, goals, wisdom, strength, determination, and writing...
