He told me to walk
To walk where my heart lies
My heart lies on the threshold
The threshold of no mercy
No mercy that I must abide by

He told me to walk
To walk past the outcasts
The outcasts of my wrong doing
My wrong doing where there was now no mercy
No mercy that I must abide by

He told me to walk
To walk past the successful
The successful who are better than I
Better than I for I have no mercy
No mercy that I must abide by

He told me to walk
To walk past the grave
The grave of my grief
My grief which I take to have no mercy
No mercy that I must abide by

I told him that I will not
I will not be ashamed of my mistakes
My mistakes that made me: me
Me that does need mercy
Mercy which I do not need from the outcast himself
