I Will Not

What is that thumping down there?
Would someone bump me down right here?
Spinning and jumping and running around
Missing a word or two as I rhyme
Still not getting the words right
I didn’t run, as they have might

Groaning and moaning, there I sat
Am I an idiot, my brain this fat
I read and held, and said and yelled
Held my nerve, held it
Held the fort, castle was not felled
Angels of rhyme descended upon me
Calm prevailed,

When the light and the bad collided
One won, the other faded
Which one it was, your mind is to find
Right or wrong, you can’t leave behind
It is a question that will show
If it is well or the rot will grow

They ran and ran and never looked back
Creepers caught up with them
Crushed them with a crack
I stood and faced and till the end I fought
Did all that what I could, watered the drought
They say the brave win
So did i.
