try the end of my fingers
to see if you can reach my heart
i am a level
and you must beat
every single part of me
you must prove yourself
(though victory is but a
passing joy)
i will not be conquered
(though i may lie)
or subdued.
try to push me down
and you will fall

down.
i will not collect
your pieces
