Martyr

I've watched you
tear yourself in pieces
A Peace of mind
is always out of reach
But if you had just a...
A piece of mine
It would exterminate hate
Upon yourself,
lift you up,
And carry the weight a smarter way

You wanted to outsmart the class
But GPA is a measure of obidence
not intellect
All you did...
was set yourself on fire
to keep others warm.
And avoid building yourself a stronger foundation.

You tried to argue with statues
So poised and ready to attack
Preaching to hate only fans the flames
killing with kindness is still assault in their mind.
Words are weapons
and fools are always armed to the teeth, quick to wield ignorance
as long as it benefits their tainted philosophy,
Sometimes saying nothing is the most devastating blow they'll see...

.....I still know you,
You're the wind in my sails,
But when you take off
at such a vicious rate
You leave a storm in your wake.
