Why Are You Doing This?

Faith has never granted my one and deepest desire,
Those ignited flames never cease fire,
Every single moment of distress,
I get further away from the fortress,

How I wish this everlasting pain could stop,
But my nightmares haunt me nonstop,
And I'm forced to stay strong,
But I know that that is misleading and wrong,

For I have never seen anything but the dark,
And every time I look back, I see the Mark,
The Mark which evil has slashed across my back,
I weaken with every agonizing attack,

Yet hatred and anger fought horror and fright,
And now my future has been decided in one night,
That I must destroy and end all the weak,
In my ear, it must always speak,

For my own flesh and blood did this,
With every harsh word I hear my lips emit a hiss,
The snake has caught its prey,
And like the serpent; I must not hesitate but obey,

For his Master is Mother Nature,
And he cannot denature,
For my master if My Father,
How I wish I could fly farther,

But his cage keeps me from being free,
Like how pollution keeps withering the tree,
He does not want the best for his son,
But it's too late; it has been done,

I'm a just a slave to the past,
But how long do you think it will last?
Because this is reality, this is real,
For the truth has never been revealed,

His monstrosity shows his shield,
For his misery does not yield,
Because I can read his distressed heart,
Anger and hurt never part,

But he too has suffered like me,
That is why he does not let me be,
For we are one; we are the same,
And to admit it; I am not in shame,

But I cannot forgive this mistake,
But I do not cry; I do not break,
I'm powerful, I don't need anyone,
And that is why I have already won,

Cowardice and Weakness; I do not know,
For Courage and Determination I always show,
But then why does my soul cry for help,
Like a lost puppy giving a frightful yelp,

Father, tell me why you do this?
For your heart aches for happiness and bliss,
Then why do you not take that chance?
Because I see the anguish in your glance,

Why did you to chain my innocence?
You thought of me as a burden and a nuisance,
And that is why I must break the chain of ire,
For that is my wish; my deepest desire,

Friendship and trust gave me hope,
I'm not imprisoned by the chain neither the rope,
Because my vision is crystal clear,
And I now hold the truth dear,

Power is nothing; Friendship has meaning,
I have done all the gleaning,
I chose my rightful path,
Do not take the warpath,

Please reconsider your ways of life,
And do not ask for the bladed knife,
Our nightmares cannot contaminate the pure,
So that is why I must find a cure,

Why do you not trust your own Son?
When the truth is shown, you always to hide and run,
I can sense your hesitation towards our shining novas,
Why are you doing this to me, to yourself, to us?
