Cruelty

11 march 2007

Even though

Mean, hateful, ugly and cruel

Are just words

Dancing within our consciousness

It is we who give them life

By what we do and do not do

Our suffering started when you

Delivered me into slavery

By not keeping your promises

It was my firm resolve

To transform myself

Despite what it might cost

Therefore, i went willingly

Because it was, i who defied you

I felt if you were not going to deal with me honestly, i felt i did not deserve to keep familiar material things

My sacrifice was in defiance to yours

Which was to maintain your standards

You cannot serve two masters

Eventually you will find truth

Does not cover up for our lives

And my choice to decrease myself

Rather than my principles

Does not diminish

Who i am
