Born To Be

I was born to be a bastard,
And I prayed to be a saint,
I'll die to be a martyr,
Because I'm scared to be afraid.

I sang to hear a song,
And I talked to hear a voice,
I'll die to know I've been alive,
Because I decide I have no choice.

I lived at their beck and call all my life,
Now it's time to die at mine.

I lived to be a martyr
And I'll die to be a saint,
But these hands of yours
My blood will taint.

Author's Note
Sat in my drafts for years, this one did. Came back to reread it and decided it seemed done. Been so long I can't remember if I ever intended to write more to this one... But I do know that I've planned to include a couple lines from this in a novel in the trilogy I'm writing
