The past has proven, through days gone by
Those fed by cruel hands
Seem to sharpen their teeth for the bite
While below the skin lies potential
To choose a greater path
Realise your actions hold consequence
And for each misguided step you take
Someone must bear the weight
Compromise is never something I'd take lightly
Cauterise the wounds and let the scars speak for themselves
Burgeoning, I've come to terms with an imperfect past
Knowing when our lives diverged my friend
You chose the wrong path
Carve these words into stone
I have waited patiently for this time
I will leave behind a legacy
The weak willed will rupture and break
Compromise is never something I'd take lightly
Cauterise the wounds and let the scars speak for themselves
I will be the change that is needed
I will be the foundation stone
