I don’t want to die a martyr
As I fear I am destined to
I may be smarter
But I fear my untimely death may still be true
I have always been self-sacrificing
I don’t know how to be anything else
The pain is meant to be sanctifying
But it only causes stress
I cannot watch people suffer
I will trade their pain for mine
I tell myself it will make me tougher
Strengthen my spine
Maybe I don’t deserve this debris
Maybe I can become softer
Or maybe this is all I am meant to be
I don’t want to die a martyr
