Why would you bleed for someone who demands it from you?

The righteous give; the selfish take.

And here you have given yourself up entirely.

A slave to promises you keep for others whom will never return the same.

Do not be a fool.

Wrapped in shrouds of foley,

The crown of thorns becomes yours to bear.

Scars over your body, fingers bloodied to pulp.

You find yourself haunted by those who brought down this judgement.

If you find yourself burning from within,

It can be a beautiful thing.

Yet, you shall not allow all of it to burn to ash.

Learn yourself, know yourself, and above all else;

Be true to yourself before you are true to anyone else.
