Please, just please; lend an ear to this soulless chatter
and see into the wealth within me that bleeds.
Stop turning away as though you cannot see what is happening
you are not clueless.
Days fraught with Hatred weep as those who are not blind, do not see.
I am alone.
Can no one see through the glamor I portray?
I suppose a gift shines through the mirror of my curse.
Rid me of my conscious grief, billowing all that once lied pure,
And be that which was once my shining star.
Who am I the beggar to be asking for your help?
The loyal subject you never wanted.
So become my persecutor and hand me my execution,
the words you refuse to say that will forever set me free.
Please know there will be no guilty hand laid upon you
for you never chose the cards life handed you either.
Responsibility is futile in the eyes of the righteous,
yet to do the right thing is to feel the blade yourself,
The guilt that would pierce through you is why you remain silent,
but do you not know that eventually silence will be the decision itself?
So grant me dignity by uttering those words,
The precious choice that will rob or lift the hovering platform from which I stand.
And hesitate no longer
So that I may once again breathe or plummet to the spikes below.
