Freedom Through Martyrdom
If I jump, will you catch me
If I cut, will you heal me
If I swing, will you lower me
If I die, will you help me
If you free me, am I still me
Flying is a construct of the mind
Sleeping is a creation of a coma
Bleeding is an invention of the body
Dying is an occurrence of a life
Why not expedite rather than suffer like a troglodyte
Why not release rather than be a feast for others
Spinning is a construct of the world
Fainting is a creation of pressure
Experience is an invention of a system
Hurting is an occurrence of living
Rather lead by example than follow by ordinance
Rather fall by following than decide to lead
Do I stand for anything
Do I fall for anything
Does "myself" mean anything
Am I just a figment of imagination
Am I alive if I'm no longer living
Questions left unanswered are facts
Facts left unquestioned are lies
Martyrdom is self-indulgence
Suicide is an example
Leadership is created through pressure
Existence is a lie of leaders
Swallowed allowed by followers
Freedom is understatements
Draped in shallow understanding
My life is a lie
Heavy-handed arguments go ignored
If I cut, will you heal me
If I swing, will you lower me
If I die, will you help me
If you free me, am I still me
