Resurgence of an Empire

Within these words

I'll hide the contempt for the purpose I serve.

Silently, I withhold my resolve

And pursue, while my dignity dissolves

A bit more everyday...

I'll hold on to the end

And fight my resentment.

You see, I have succumbed

In order to complete

What must be done.

Stand tall, to keep faith and fight.

Take up arm

And prepare, for the, onslaught.

Prepare yourself.

Concealed in shadows

There are weaknesses.

I have uncloaked them

To reveal their impurities.

I lay, concealed, awake

In hopes of finding safety from their

Unrelenting, beatings

Which they have organized in spite

Of all, your own, actions

Which we have followed to a "T"

But we, have been, displaced

We have been driven from our course.

The battle rages on

As my mind begins to sway.

I am redeemed through consequence

But my guilt is still in play.

But the fact of the matter is

Is that I've sacrificed,

Everything I am

While I was standing here for you.

Prepare yourself, just save yourself.

There is no escaping

We must strive to alter fate,

In order to recover

From this faltered state.

Within these words, I hid the contempt

For the purpose I served silently.

I withheld my resolve, and pursued

While my dignity dissolved.
