Back to the Sky
No Plagiarism!UUbccTmREKXjCLlGr1Uoposted on PＥNAＮＡ

I’d rather be the lamb that you slaughter

Than act like you are my son or my daughter

I’d rather die in the bite of the winter

I’d rather be in the gut of a monster

———

I’d rather die in the salt-fucked water

Than act like I’m wanting to leave my daughter

I’d rather die of the thirst and the hunger

Than live my life as a slave with no power

———

I do not want to live in a story

I don’t want fangs or sharp claws or an army

All that I want is to leave this world of bone

So my people can be free in the sky’s home180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GhfMj6cJj
