"Every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind, is written large in his works." Virginia Wolf


There are soldiers,
There are priests,
Sinners and saints,
But be honest.
Is there ever really,
Just one you can be?
No. How can there be?
When we all sin,
And we all have battles.
We all fight,
We all do wrong,
And can do right.
It’s up to you,
What you do,
But I’d just be you.

That's my stab at poem interpretation...
