It's odd how easily

Our roles could be switched.

How easy it would've been

For me to be standing there

In uniform

The military prodigy

And her the bloody, captured prisoner

But I was born into the slums

And rebellious by nature

And they didn't want me

At least not alive

Anger flashes through me for a second

Not because I want to be

The Republic's lapdog

But because of what came from

The strangest combination

Of well planned lies

And circumstance
