To Die For

Here I am.

Standing in front of the crowd.

Tired.

Confused.

And wounded.



Here I am.

Ready to make my choice.

To bargain.

To fight.

And die for it.



Here I am.

Standing with a mission.

To end the misery.

To begin life.

Of my own.



Here I am.

Taking back my freedom.

Vindicating myself.

Let me go!!!

And let me be.



I’ve won too many battles.

For you.

Now this battle is for myself.

At least listen.

Lest we both…die.
