I remember...

I remember the first time I cried
for pity, not for pain
I remember the first time I lied
how little that it gained
I remember the first time I hid
all scared and all ashamed
I remember the worst thing I did
and all the people named
I remember my first sacrifice
I did it out of pride
I remember when I prayed for life
the day that my soul died
I remember my body with scars
that time only revealed
I remember how it got that far
and why they were concealed
