It was her duty, She knew that, But it didn’t nullify her fear, It didn’t prevent the ball of anxiety From wrapping around her stomach And choking her entrails Tendrils of dread seep into her chest cavity Digging into her untainted heart Leaving marks She was honored to be chosen, She knew that, But it didn’t stop the silent rage from building In a place so deep inside her Not even they can take it away It was her fate, It was what she was born for, Without it she has no purpose She knew that, But it didn’t negate the tearing sensation Across her unblemished skin The unbearable pain, It didn’t stop her muffled screams from escaping It didn’t stop the tears Her white robes stain vermillion The brightness in her eyes taken Her innocence snatched away for the Greater good They all cheer For her selfless sacrifice She atoned for them What that meant, she didn’t know.

A Sacrifice For The Many
The Weak are Martyred The Stronge die Slowly over Time. It's easy to go out in a Blaze of Glory for a Cause. It's much harder to get up and Fight the Battle day after day Until the Cause is Won.
