Desensitized

Where did we learn not to fear you?
To feel comfortable in your chilling embrace. 
To allow your arms to keep us safe. 
To give way to your endless possibilities.

We are the minority;
The few who know you
Up close and personal. 

We see you,
We hate you,
You made us,
You'll take us too.

So what happened to this daring few?
What makes us bolder,
Braver,
More cowardly,
Yet fearless?
Who made us this way?
Who told us to be the minority?
What gave us the ability to embrace you? 
Why are we blessed with your constant torture?
Why must you tug at our limbs and not theirs?

Desensitized;
Are we?
We can talk freely of the subject which everyone tries to forget.
Because what is out of mind;
Is thus out of sight. 
A characteristic of our kind,
Is that we often lose our will to fight. 
This burden claims to be ours,
So why does it feel like it's all mine?
Why does freedom come at such a steep price?
An eternal struggle leads to a loss of eternity.
