Stabwounds

Run to the corner
and watch your life pass you by
shy from the light
reconfirm the lie

for you shall never grasp
that what you never earn
wallow in your self-shackled prison
awaiting your sentence ...
the one you so yearn

cry not now
your tears are not your own
wear the crown
of scars overflown

recollect the paradigm forgotten
the suffocating values air the most
so it must be taken

reclaim your need to weep
reclaim your desire to bleed
reclaim your lust to hurt
reclaim your right to feel

for your salvation
walks hand in hand
with your damnation

look upon your stabwounds
and smile in realization
you have to die
for others to learn
that they must live!
