The speaker reflects on the immense personal sacrifices made in their pursuit of fighting injustice. They describe a life consumed by anger, ego, and an unyielding desire to combat perceived wrongs, leading to a loss of inner peace, kindness, and love. The speaker feels trapped by past decisions, symbolized by an equation written 15 years prior, which dictates a sense of damnation. They acknowledge using the 'tools of the enemy' and sacrificing their own decency and future for the sake of others, a sunrise they will never witness. The core of their sacrifice is the realization that their ego, which initiated this struggle, will never receive validation, an audience, or gratitude, ultimately leading to the conclusion that they have sacrificed 'everything'.

And what do you sacrifice? Calm? Kindness? Kinship? Love?

I've given up all chance at inner peace. I made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago, from which there's only one conclusion: I'm damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight has set me on a path from which there's no escape.

I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost, and by the time I looked down, there was no longer any ground beneath my feet. What is my, what is my sacrifice?

I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else's future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see. Now the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror, or an audience, or the light of gratitude.

So what do I sacrifice? Everything.
