Sell My Soul {Ottava Rima}

For one bucket of change I would sell my soul,
Hand it over to all the poor on the streets.
Give them a small taste of being in control,
As I unravel what is under these sheets.
I would tell stories of a life I once stole,
'Bout an innocent heart that no longer beats.
Show them that life is worth more than what they think,
And that it can be shattered in just one blink.
