Alone with my principles,
I choose this more somber path.
Endeavors with few morals,
Slowly fueled my inner wrath.

Nights of drunken revelry,
Proved to reap ill consequence.
Past moments of vanity,
Hold meager significance.

Weary of carnal mindsets,
I push for loftier gains.
Turning to face worldly threats,
I draw the line here: no more.
