The forever King of myself

Never will I be taken for a fool especially by fools

their opinions hold as much value as melting ice

I am an expert at standing my ground

lay on every bed of nails I've known

coming off them all with my dreams still intact

I'm not prepared to ever be defeated  

or willing to accept an Escariot helping hand

against waves of sorrow I am the successfully repelling Canute

never will my trusted logic be submerged in the depths of emotion

and one day soon I'll be able to write my name on the wind

in very very large golden letters
