An option to never take

Giving up an option, they handed you,

Without a second thought

Never noticed the trials and tribulations you fought

How worn out and exhausted they left you

They wait willingly for you to rot

All while you contemplate ways of escaping the pain

Escaping the laughter from sadistic and judging eyes

Friend and foe, all they tell you is lies

To keep you battered and bruised

Emotionally drained

A broken mind, fractured beyond repair

A broken soul, down and out

With all the potential you possess lost

Giving up an option, they gave you

They should have nurtured the vessel in you

That would have given greatness the perfect host

They should allow you to heal

To break the bonds that keep you down

Allow you to gain your strength

To gain the power you possess

The power that lies dormant

Awaiting for you to call on it

To awaken the fighting spirit

That courses through your veins

In moments when you are left broken

Giving up an option, you should never take

Even though they constantly hand it to you
