The Sacrifice


"Stop with the lies

And the hate

And the hurt

Filled with their cries

Cause we treat them 

Like dirt

A small child shies

At a hand 

Raised to hurt

This word is not mine

Not the sea

The skies, or earth

Full of fear wishin we could hide

From the shame

Pain,and eyes

The white flag flies

To give me

A freedom not rightfully mine

Thank you Lord i sigh

As i remember the sacrifice."

Just your typical geek. If you care to look deeper though...You can see the layers I have created. The worlds I call my own live in my imagination. Creating riddles and poems and lives and characters to become and get lost in. No one knows me, or at least the me behind the blinds. PLEASE COMMENT instagram=tamingofseawolves
