Damn Sure

I have learned that not every wrath,
leads down the damming path.
But to keep rage inside,
and to always forever hide,
is a surefire way to go,
even if you don't know.

Its a way to get even,
down on the level of the heathen.
But honor often dictates sacrifice,
no matter the price.
So its something I pay,
each and every day.

Is it the wrong path that doth allure?
Of that, I am damn sure.
Damn sure its the path I walk,
and it'll get me outlined in chalk.
