Only So Much Poem by Shane Engisch

Only So Much



Sometimes it's not your battle
Though you feel it's your fight
Corruption in the field
discerning what's not right

Can't connect the anger
to fist and flesh for best
behaving as a gentlemen
I can attest

Though ferocity runs strong
In the veins of this beast
When loved ones face demons
They must fight hard at the least

Stepping in would only shatter
The growth from the scars
So I tend to the mending
so they still believe in stars

Speaking what's already known
Reflecting their heart for clarity
In times they need it for hope
When all feels like catastrophe

Diminish my own evils and tempters at the door
So my loved ones know if one can do it, they can too and more
Breathe in and steady your blade
My love endure, you'll gain
Each step against your enemies
Your will I will sustain
