Sacrifice

Tattered is her hair

Scars cover thy skin

Representing
Each of her sins

Not hers alone
But others as well

Too long this has been

Herself, she
No longer defends


All throughout
These dark years
Never has anyone
Ever bothered to hear
Of her sacrifices in life
So others could go on
Only written
In this non-musical song
