sparring with time
time and i get in the ring and i am aware
of just one thing
he could knock me out at anytime
but he is aware that i will probably get a few licks in
so we train together in mutual respect
i do not try to deny his superiority and he lets me fumble around
which i call life
i am a happy carefree idiot and since i know that this world can no longer harm me
we talk and i can sometimes feel his affect as we converse
but i am not his slave even though he is the master
he has taught me to accept things and forget about liking them
that has allowed me to live at peace with unresolved issues
i sit with Him and we reflect how he has molded me and how i have tried to resist in futility
but shaking his head he respects me for trying
heyyyyyyy that was a low blow you bastard, as he laughingly walks back to his corner
