"Sacrifice"

by PoemsByCed

Success entails sacrifice. People will fight the good fight. When will it suffice? When will you hear our plight? We forge a path to paradise. Burning bridges to reach the light. Is it worth it to cut our ties? Burning just to shine bright? Stockpiled innumerable retries, Power on with irreversible blight, Pushing until one of us dies, Its me or my dreams tonight... Husks and ghosts arise, Ascending like a child's kite. Living their dream of lies, Sacrificing their own sight. Go on and take a bite, Hear out those distant cries, Sacrifice your own might, Be one of the forest fires! Your dreams may be forthright. But is it worth your lives? Everything may be alright but- Will your life be the sacrifice?

Notes

A reflection of my college life, losing my sanity and turning numb, I struggle to find the truest sense of why I am here and what I want to do. I sacrificed to maintain those numbers yet they served no real purpose... and now I'm lost.
