In the abyss of silence, a heart's desperate plea, "Pick me, love me, choose me," a futile decree. But its cries are drowned in carnage and gore, As vultures feast on what beats no more.
Innocence shattered, too young to comprehend, The cruel rhythms of life, its merciless bend. Hellish tides ebb and flow, a relentless dance, Leaving you adrift in a sea of circumstance.
Matron's envy, a gossamer trap so fine, You're threat incarnate, though you've crossed no line. On your brow, a neon sign ablaze, "Pick me, love me," in this macabre maze.
They chose you indeed, stripped you to the bone, A hollow vessel, emptied and alone. No balm to soothe, no salve to mend, You wrapped yourself in causes, endlessly to bend.
Limbs contorted, insect-like and frail, You crawled through shadows, spinning your tale. Survival's web, a purpose self-imposed, A chrysalis of pain, metamorphosis enclosed.
The mirror reflects a stranger's face, "Pick me, love me," lost without a trace. So you reshape, remold, redesign, The world blind to your shift to the divine.
In this theatre of the absurd, you play your part, A chameleon soul with a siren's heart. Unnoticed, unloved, unchosen still, You lean into your power, bending to your will.
The plea silenced, the heart beats anew, No longer begging, for the choosing is you. In darkness forged, in pain refined,
A phoenix rises, no longer confined.
