Dignity Sacrificed

When I looked at this world, it felt like a stranger,

I think was lost in a jungle, and I am not a ranger,

I went beating a trail that no one’s going to follow,

And all the promises seemed to be hollow,

I had to put a struggle, yet couldn’t end my strife,

Such was the story of my life,

This world seemed to be, too hard to survive,

That’s when I made the sacrifice.

Dignity sacrificed,

Dignity sacrificed.

I shot down all the morals, that I had heeded,

I felt all that rubbish was just not needed,

If I have to make a bigger tomorrow,

I need to laugh on everyone’s sorrow,

Just look around and see, all those who had a rise,

Had their dignity sacrificed,

You may find it so untrue, but you’ll realize,

It is must to survive.

Dignity sacrificed,

Dignity sacrificed.

I was a king but I still felt like a pauper,

I had all the wealth, but my life wasn’t proper,

And I could barely catch a sleep in the night,

Wishing I hadn’t strayed and done what was right,

I should have never bowed; I should have given fight,

But then I didn’t realize,

I may now look alive, but inside I am crying,

I let my dignity die.

Dignity sacrificed,

Mistake realized.
