+"Neutrality is taking the enemy's side."
+But when someone quotes that, they usually
+intend for you to comply.
+
+So I dug myself a grave and called it my home,
+and I forced myself to be content
+with being with you alone.
+
+And it wasn't until I'd been choking for a while
+that my vision finally tunneled,
+only seeing your smile...
+
+Your grin, your gunt, your toothless embrace,
+everything I am, you think
+is yours to freely take.
+
+And I don't know how,
+but I found the strength
+to dig myself out,
+
+and the poison you denied was simply just air
+never moved to harm me,
+just sat inert there.
+
+"A coward! A coward!" you call from the tomb,
+but I'd think it more pitiful to continue
+letting you give me more wounds.
+
+So tell me,
+why should I sacrifice myself
+for your greed?
+
+Are you anxious, restless, shaken, unsure
+that the prison you've constructed
+is truly your cure?
