TO MY DEAR FOES

All ye, failures, weaknesses and foes! 

Did you feel triumphed 

When you beat me down to the dust? 

Did you celebrate my defeats 

With your wicked accomplices? 

Hear me out, It's your contemptuous look 

And the stealthy conspiracies 

That ignited my somber spirit? 

  

My heart secretly conceals 

The ember of sweet retaliation. 

You never knew how uncharitable 

Your haughty comments had been. 

You took cruel pleasure 

In pricking my fragile heart. 

Know this, your hypocritical smiles 

Weren't sufficient to veil your true faces. 

  

Fight me down as you wish, 

With your blunt rumors and envy. 

Your victory will just be a mirage, 

Until I rise from the dust victoriously 

With renewed vigor and life. 

As I prosper before your very eyes, 

Your rage will devour yourself 

And scatter you down to mere ashes. 

  

You may succeed in extinguishing 

The illuminating candles around me, 

But not the blazing one inside me. 

I shall never lose hope and stagger 

In your envious spiteful storm. 

Because my foundation is above 

On the Transcendent being, 

Who keeps me stronger forever.
