Sacrifice

I stepped inside the flame!
Hoping to be forgiven for what I became!
-
Have I no shame?
Have I no guilt?

There's no such thing as blame
For all of the wrongs I've been dealt

Point the finger
Only at the world

Watch you band together
And witness you antagonize another

Innocent souls
Wrapped inside of society's shadows

And little did they know
They were only born to be scapegoats

That's the harsh way to say it
It's only because the truth is filled with hatred

Bystanders just turn a blind eye
As they feed their relief with made up lies

That's all they know how to do
They're too afraid of being dragged down with you

They know what's right
But it's clouded by discriminative eyes

We're only given the gift of a last glance
A half a second of pity slips through our hands

It's all we will get
A taste of sour condolences

There's no real sympathy for the puppets
The strings are now cut as we are forsaken

I am part of a sinful massacre
It's also known as a saint's murder
-
God, you have given me this life!
But I was just your children's sacrifice!
I didn't get to grow up like everyone else around me. There was always that one secret eating me up inside as long as I could remember. Living in that fear, it modified my view of life, and this is the outcome. I am the product of society. There is no true blame, but there is no forgetting. There is no real forgiveness, because the guilt is secret, and the secret is...it's too late.

Justice is man-made, and recovery is just an illusion to me.
