I'm no lord
I've got more respect for myself than that
a fancy title
means ridiculously little in real combat

I'm a general
because I'm not as good at running as I thought
I'll fight though
no sense in making the suffering from before for naught

I'm no bloody hero
I'm no flaming idiot set up for suffering and despair
I know those stories
but I feel like I was dealt a hand just as unfair

I'm a married man
which I'm still not really sure why or how
it's a welcome change though
and perhaps not the only one I should allow
