Unveiling the Silent Battle: Jeremiah Castelo’s Shadowboxing Poem Will Leave You Breathless
I am an uncompromised,
uninhibited,
and unchallenged fresh breath of boldness
I am the statue of fastholding,
chiseled down from black diamond by the strong hand of craftsmanship
I am chaos’s more stable second cousin,
and favored uncle to the prodigals, the proliferates, the princes, and
the prodigies
I am the lion’s heart beat,
the war drum’s sporadic syncopation
I am the wolf pack’s collective sixth and seventh senses,
keen on the scent of blood, fear, and impending annihilation
I will not sway to the breath of your voice
nor will I stagger at the wind your weather weaves
