This poem embodies the essence of sacrifice tangled within love and hate.

GENESIS
I am not made
From flesh, you see
Not one fragment
Of family
I am not dust
From lowly earth
I am not seen
I am not heard
I am not soul
The living part
Not one organ
Nor a true heart
I am the air
The breath that fills
The time and space
That boredom kills
You take me in
And shut me out
You have no sense
To hear me shout
You suck me up
Invisibly
You call my name
Disdainfully
You need me when
You breathe too late
And throw me when
You suffocate
You kill yourself
And crawl in fear
Do you not care
My presence here?
I sacrifice
For you to live
For it's my job
To always give
I do not mind
The words they say
I do not mind
Each passing day
I don't complain
This agony
For I choose not
My destiny
I have no time
To stop awhile
I have no time
To cry or smile
I just do things
I need to do
To keep you safe
Alive and new
I have no voice
To tell you 'Hi'
But I can say
My last goodbye
If you need me
Just breathe me in
Just take my life
And let me in
I walk, you run
I fly, you soar
I die, you live
Ten seconds more
