I stand here in awe of the pyramid that stands before me I know walking up the steps before me, I will be walking to my death Surrounded by warriors, there is no chance, for me to flee Slowly walking the temple steps, I know soon, I will take my last breath. I was told what an honor this is To be chosen by the elders, me, I would be sacrificed to the Gods Each step takes me closer to death, my destiny being with death to share a kiss Given a drug, I am groggy, I feel as if I could nod. I am dressed in my finest, my whole body has been perfumed We walk so slow, I just want this to be over with Slowly each step brings me closer to my groom, as I was meant to be his sacrificial bride I must do my duty, to my God, I am his gift. Making sure I was a virgin, the elders then set my fate in stone One more step, as I walk to my preordained destiny Each step closer to my God, soon I won't feel so alone I have no fears, of what is about to happen to me. My mind, my brain, is just spinning, I guess this is from the drug At times, I can't conceive, the reality going on around me The last step, in front of the alter, they give me something, in a very big mug It seems now, I don't care what they do to me. At the top of the temple, I am gently placed across an alter I see the priest, elaborately dressed, as he dances and chants around me I look to the sun, I watch it as I slowly die My spirit will soon be one with my God, I have no reason to question as to why.

... *Starts applauding* Nice work! A little wordy in some places, but a very interesting read. Only spelling/grammar error I could find was 'Sacrificial.'
