• Look not upon me
    For I have been tainted
    By my own greed,
    By my want to be best.

    What have I left
    But to give my all
    For he that I love
    And those whom I hate?

    And what about them,
    All who have done
    Things only for me?
    Best will not be enough.

    I must not allow
    This scar to slow
    My want to help them.
    Tainted is but beauty.
