mixed blood

not lying about why you want to help someone is difficult.

put my name in your books
on your walls, your streets
im afraid to die
i want to soak like blood
into the bricks you build
your walls up with.
when you harden yourself
to the blows, i want to know
that they feel my might
holding them at arms length.
i am selfish, but i suppose
not in my own interest.
i just want credit for making
your world a less painful one.
