Zerah I'll always be.

In this life... I live to survive you,
with such a unique design... no one can see through,
my compassion is sacret to me and so is my virtues,
must I continue a life of torture just to be with you?

My emotions run deep as my mind spins like a wheel,
ask me not about how I feel,
to find the answers.. layers you will have to peel,
what you seek is a heart made of steel.

This heart of steel.. no one can compare,
it scratches and dents beyond repair,
the marks that remain may even loose it's flair,
it still bleeds but nobody cares.

At time it seems like I am a bird in a cage with clipped wings,
force to serve a lord who is not a king,
dammed as I am and punished to his liking,
I must survive this task he has set upon me...
wait and see what tomorrow brings.

Do not try to understand or pity me,
I am strong at will, head strong and free,
this name lingers in my memory...
Zerah is who I will always be,
but to everyone else I am simply Marie.
