They don't want to be your children, you've been casting quite a shadow: taking credit for the birthing, but no canals were ever crossed. Heart temperatures have always risen: things are good until they're not being good, and then they become bad until they wither wither.
No one warns you when your stepping off the path of no return. They coward caw off from the distance, now that you have been blacklisted through the door. Now join the others: dead from lack of light exposure, never knowing that the sun we worship is not the only one.
Did you know? You have somewhere else to go. It might seem quite sad, but soon your tomb will read: "This one did not go down without a fight. It took hundreds, it took thousands. And even then, they laughed.
Legacy's a tricky subject: do you want a son or daughter? I'll erase instead my history, and evaporate the blood I cried today. I'll turn back the scratchy record, vinyl filled with sorrow hymns that sung the songs of ancient faiths. My narrative is never only pain!
I have searched for hills to die on, standing defiant all day long. But I've found a short mountain and placed my cottage well along the walk. I may need vengeful spirits if I ever want to succeed, but heroes paths are far behind me: I am content to finally take a seat.
Do I need to take my name with me when I go?
If I do, if I want to, I will.
