Self-Burial

By Legions Slave

A body is being buried
The body being buried
Is the same person who is burying it
A person that was once weak and vulnerable
Did not stand up for themselves
Cared what other people thought
Is being buried by a person who is strong
Stands up for themselves
Doesn't care what people think
Who is burying who they once were
Never to be the person being buried again
