A Mutual Avail

[tieth]

strength is a soft embrace
always lifted me back to life
I wanted to be beautiful for you
too much ugliness surrounded

and now I carry your weakness
your strength in sacrifice
and now I seem to live inside
of every single thought

for all in my community
I give myself away
simply so that I see smiles
when they look my way

their love becomes my weakness
my every sacrifice
when no one needs to feel any pain
no one except for me

so take this sacred ideal
save it in gilded walls
hope that others see my service

or should I cast these silver chains
and save my life
from living all inside a dream
