Who Starves and Who Eats
you can smile in the midst of pain
are you braver than me
you can choose contentment over happiness
are you braver than me
are you more humane than me
you can feed me my own egotistical tendencies
are you braver than me
are you more humane than me
are you even more deserving than me
you can shock me
- but only if i am shocked
you can have the power
- but only if i am powerless
who starves and who eats?
