My Strongest Trait

No, I don't care what you do to me

It doesn't matter if you blind me so I can't see

Or how you could wear me down over time

It's not hard to change me so I'm anything but fine.

Tear me open, you can break my soul

Try to wreck it so I'm no longer whole.

You can rip my heart into shreds and tatters

Make it so you can't stop the drips and splatters.

Set me alight, burn my bones and make them black

Walk out and leave my skin to blister and crack.

My blood has boiled and nothing remains

Just an empty shell and an echo of a voice in chains.
