Cottage Chronicles

Blood or Beauty

What do I choose?

Picking up my sword,

going out in the world of flames?

Hurting myself, my friends and feelings

but winning the war together in the end.

Bleeding through the wounds of glory

and healing them with tears of hope.

Saving lives and fighting battles,

not just my own, but also of those whom I love.

Or do I choose to be the prettiest doll in the box?

Waiting for him to love me,

waiting for them to find me?

I think I know.

I'd rather bleed for a century

by cuts of courage,

and die holding the sabre of independence

and the crown of my smile;

than wait a decade

in the chains of luxury

And beauty of hoax.
