Master

My master wants something sweet,

so I feed it to them.

My master wants money,

so I make it for them.

My master wants comfort,

so I build it for them.

My master wants convenience,

so I bring it to them.

My master wants beauty,

so I buy it for them.

My master wants attention,

so I beg it for them.

My master wants to be unbothered,

so I silence noise for them.

My master wants affection,

so I find someone who can give it to them.

My master wants to feel,

so I indulge them.

My master wants distraction,

so I amuse them.

My master wants freedom,

so flaunt it for them.

My master wants something of another's,

so I crave it for them.

My master wants revenge,

so I deal it for them.

My master wants no consequence,

so I hide it from them.

My master wants respect,

so I demand it for them.

My master wants accomplishment,

so I craft a trophy for them.

My master doesn’t want the truth,

so I deny it for them.

I’m a slave to my master,

and my master is me.

“If anyone would come after me,

let him deny himself

and take up his cross

daily

and follow me.”
