I'm trying not to write... REALLY

I've been banishing poems as soon as they peek around the door, Sir, but this was one was too strong for me. Damn it, Sir, with all due respect, you lit a fire in me, and merely declaring "Down to coals with you!" doesn't always work.

I'm trying, though, Sir. I really am.
I'm trying to obey.

I always want to obey.
