Le Poetry

What defines me?
That would probably be my empathy.
I try to relate to everyone who
is scared to show themselves to but a few.

Guiding others to the light
and helping them win this fight.
I take on a nurturing role
since I know this world takes quite a toll.

Thoughts of death and suicide?
Well let's just go and throw them aside.
The world may be dark and spiteful
but it can also be quite insightful.

Just watch your step along the way
to hopefully lessen, the price you pay.
I glance around at the silent crowd
and see many scars, once silent now loud.

I lend an ear to the fallen mass
and help them see past the broken glass.
Maybe they heed my words or not,
as long as they know this is not what they wrought.

In all honesty I am not really defined,
but when you asked me - a few things come to mind.
It may also be my analytical eyes,
since I'm known to see past lies.

I notice masks with many a crack,
and see others past what they 'lack'.
People think I'm quite shallow,
but I was once tainted - now hallow.

But who better to help you rise,
than the boy who decided to put on a guise.
This fallen angel with blackened wings,
is now the savior of the forgotten kings.
