Analysis of Somebody, Someone
Sacrifice of blood,
life lost for you,
needing a single word
of recognition,
make me feel like I'm here,
not a ghost of past days,
somebody, someone,
don't remember who I was,
withered without knowing love,
dead to you, now dying to the world,
do these bleeding arms make me exist?
