Bow to Your Mistress

Of all the things

I am certain about myself,

my ability to adapt to change

is my favorite.

I have been dragged through the mud,

dropped on my ass

only to ever be second best

so many times that I have

gone professional.

But the thing about me

that everyone always underestimates

is my ability to adapt

and overcome.

And now that I

have been to hell

so many times

I have become

its leader…

Bow to your mistress!
