Take a Piece of Me

Take a piece of me
Leave the rest behind
In bad times and worse
I’ll need my heart to stay afloat
Consider this my resignation
And pardon the hesitation
I was once cowardly
Now, I yield to my convictions
Don’t be deceived
I have yet to loose faith
I am sent to retrieve
What humanity has misplaced
The brave soldiers that beckon
A hero to reckon
With the forces of oppression
And act firm, make no concessions!
And as they beat me
For my scripted confession
And burn my skin
To a freighting complexion
I trust that innocence
Runs rampant in the streets below
I pray for my lost hero
Who lurks afraid in the shadow

Ahhh self struggle it would seem...with those last two lines...The story telling is good in this piece, as is the flow (as always!)...and I'm crazy for the quick jab of the fourth stanza---the jyss trademark---love it, love it!!
