I must


I know what it is I must do

And I must do so without further ado

I must give up my life

And stop this eternal strife

Prevent all that can be

And do so with glee

For I am merely a person

Hopefully nothing will worsen

I am expendable, worthless

Still alive, nonetheless

And so I do what I must do

And then away, away I flew
