In a memory

Boy smiling at the sea
What is it in your memory?
What's that you see in this fog
Looming over this city?
Did you have all you sought,
All that others thought
That you had lost?
Do you smile for a chance
Or some long lost love?
Have you really lived since?
Upon this cravice you look
And you breathe and you smile
And remember all time took
And not once do you brood,
Not once do you feed your guile.
Now, boy, do you stay forever
In that shadow of a dream,
Now, boy, do you remember
The waves that brought the seam
In that foggy morning she went away.

Hey. This is me. Something more than just thought, more than mere flesh, a brain evolving, actions regretted and pride forsaken to be later regained. More than a fight, a battle to be won, a will to be broken. I've struggled in the past. For fuck's sake, there are still days of struggle and nights where I think that a drink or ten are the right choice. But the will remains unbroken. I am a better man than before. I've fought this far. I'll be far better in the future. I've found myself, even if the days seem like an endless war, even if I have to change my urges. I forgo of my violence - nay, I'm keeping it hidden, it'll come at the right time for the right reason - in favour of reason and tactic. I'm starting to feel good about it too. It'll be worth it in the end. So I fight. I'm something more now. Something I've been trying to be for some years now. Who are you?
