Burnt

Fight a man that has to defend

a wild opponent driven to no end

Just leave it be

save one tragedy 

Valid reasons to keep the flow

Truth is the attack will grow

It’s hard to fight a damaged friend 

they will get back up until the end

Their end cannot be yours to choose 

The fight can only be yours to loose

Make your enemy worthy of your argument. There's no credit or
gain in picking a fight with an "easy" target, least of all someone
whose vulnerability is there to see and recognise.
