A Memories reflection in the eyes of the beholder...

I smoke because I hate myself...
I drink to erase memories and numb the pain.
I give everything away because I deserve none of it.
I cry because I love.
I sin so you can have forgiveness.
I do what I can because you can't.
I hide my fear so it gives you hope.
I run for my life from everyone I know so you live.
I take away from you and give it away so that one day it returns 7 fold.
I continue to live in pain rather than happiness so that I appreciate everyday that's given to me.
I put myself out so you have a place to call your own.
I die so you can live.

I keep these wings and this soul so you never carry its burden...

The day you see me fall in the field of battle, leave me to carry on and when I stand tall, look the other way so the glory I get from this task is for my own and not known.
