The Masochist
Her chances are as good as any
But she dances on the edge because she knows she is most beautiful before she falls.
She is a hypocrite
Doomed to do great things
And commit mistakes until they become lessons.
There is a heart inside her chest
But she tends to stopper the flow of blood before the heart attack comes.
The path she walks is good
Paved with benign intentions and hopeful aspirations
Though the mist encircles her steps
On the path along the edge she continues to dance
Her feet are bloodied and bare
And she repeats the steps still while she screams at herself to stop
