Sacrifice

Sometimes even the strongest must fall You just have to know when to let go of it all The world is too big for one person to save Against all the horrors and truths she must brave It’s not giving up or even letting go The burdens too great, too deep are the woes Her life in turmoil, the pit of despair Wanton destruction her soul is now bare Without cover or shelter, no warmth to spare It’s the ones that she loves that don’t even care She fought with courage but did not prevail With all that’s against her, how could she not fail? The light has now vanished; it is gone from her sight Her hope is now failing and so is her might She gave up everything, her life and her heart Her will and her strength from the very start The world that we live in is simply not just The greed that rules us is controlled by our lust She knows what to do and to do as she must To leave this world and the blood in the dust
