#3 The General

The General wears lifts, his power projects
he strides wherever he wants

The General plays it cool, straight, direct
he strives to be nonchalant

The General smirks at others, respect he commands
he’ll strike you down with information and wit

The General hides his insecurities, his worries, his fear
but his perfectionism won’t stop him a bit.

A Short Story a Day is a daily feature and creative writing project.
