Elan vital

You talk of misfortunes,
     
     When you've only lost worldly possessions.
-

You talk of anger,
     
     When you spill your Earl Grey tea
-

You talk of despair,
     
     when you cant afford something pretty.

-

You talk of the lies,
     
     When you have yet to be deceived.
-

You talk of revenge,
     
     when you have not yet tasted its wrath.

-

'Yes my lord,
     
     I will redeem your lost crown,'
     
  And give you my blood.

-

'Yes my lord,
   
     I will pour your tea again,'
 
  And bite back my Demon

-

'Yes my lord,
     
     I can obliterate my kin for your pretty thing.'
 
  And mourn for there lives.

-

'Yes my lord,
   
     I can find the verity'
 
  And accept the torment that guards it.

-

'Yes my lord,

     I can protect your life.'

  And take the chagrin of your foes.

-


I can bleed out my life,

     To recover your crown.'

  Wile taking your misfortune.

        ...And spend it on souls...

-

I can horde my power

      To preserve your life
 
  Wile taking your anger
         
        ...And using it to feed...

-

I can sacrifice my own
     
     To make you happy.
 
  Wile taking your despair,
 
        ...And absorbing the fallen...

-
I can take the cruelty
     
     To bring your innocence.
 
  Wile taking the lies,
       
        ...And use it to manipulate...

-

I can withhold the beating
     
     To vanquish your fear.
 
  Wile taking revenge

        ...And use it to bring devastation.

-

I shall have built upon my misfortune

     I shall have built upon my anger,

  I shall have built upon my despair,

        I shall have built upon the lies,

      I shall have built upon my revenge...

-

You see, master

     I am not noble,

  I am not a friend,
       
        I am not a relief,

     I do not speak in truth,

           I do not aid...  

-

You see, master

                          I am you.
