U vs You
Toe to toe, face to face
You fight your fears in a state of grace.
One on one and man to man
Willing to fight, ready to stand
1,000 Mikeys standing strong
Some must die, and some belong
Each one armed with sword and shield
Stepping onto the battle field
A man of love vs. man felt failed
Both keep their hearts within a jail
The heart of love longing to be free
The failed heart rests complacently
Man of Pride vs. Humility
One can’t live on, who will it be?
Both cannot survive within
Humility dies where pride begins
A man of stone vs. man of Steele
Each knowing how the other feels
Desperately struggling to survive
But if one wins then the other dies
So many pieces of ones self
Who’s to be upon the shelf?
Judgment is hard of who will be
And kill off so many parts of me
Raging, grabbing, blocking stabbing
Coming down with heavy blow
Searching, pleading, soul lies bleeding
Not knowing when or where to go.
When the battle ends and the smoke is cleared
Which Mike will parish? Which stands revered?
Each day in the mirror when you search your eyes
You decide which Mikey dies.

I love this. It is gritty and hurts, but it is GREAT and I love it.
