curse

why do i carry the burden
of sins not my own
why does my heart ache
for those ive never known

my body is numb
i have scars for their pain
i leave streams of tears
for strangers, dead and slain

money has no value
i give to those in need
my path ever sidetracked
by the stranger's cries i heed

in ultimate self sacrifice
i give my live and shed my fear
id place myself in deaths way
for thsoe who i hold dear.
