Teeth sharp, wicked tongue;
And I am begging you,
Spark me a flame, blue and crimson.
Deal me in,
And I will beg you to chain me,
To give me a ghost I can speak to;
I can tell a story,
If only you wouldn’t sacrifice
My still beating heart.
i’ve made many sacrifices in my life. many. for everyone, even for you. i’ve sacrificed nights out so i can talk to you. you wouldn’t do the same for me, i know. you never would. but you’ve never been in this situation, and you’re not me, are you? You do things differently. that’s the thing about us. we’re different.
what a word. Jesus is the definition here. all my understanding of this word is bound up in him, in his gift, in his humility. price comes to mind, as well as pain and suffering. nothing is worth anything without it.
I will sacrifice my life to save my family; to think of how much pain and suffering a person would have to go through to not want to, i cant famth the pain, torture of trying but you just can seem to save them; agonizing fear of not wanting to anymore.

Everyone always talks about how noble it is to sacrifice something. How incredibly noble and saintly and…and that’s bullshit. Honestly, what kind of nobility is there in choosing to suffer for something/someone else? You only end up unhappy with yourself, and if you can’t be happy with yourself, you’ll never be happy. I think we should all choose to no longer sacrifice our own happiness for others. I’m not encouraging being ruthless, but I just want us to stop seeing sacrifices as some kind of guarantee that we’re ‘good people,’ whatever that means.
i’l sacrifice myself
for a second of your healing
and i’ll give all i’ve got
just to give your life more meaning
until i feel it’s all for nothing
and you don’t reciprocate
and then i’ll hide and shy away
and i’ll make myself afraid
of the feelings that i have
and the power of independence
and i’ll risk my tears for better years
of never-ending heartfelt lessons
I sacrifice for people that I love all of the time. Sometimes though, I don’t think that I sacrifice enough. I often do something because it is in the best interest of myself and often not others. This is selfish yes, but is life about sacrificing your happiness for the benefit of others or can there be a happy medium between making yourself happy and also showing that you care for others

he watched her dancing, how the delicate milk-white skin on her foot arched and contracted with each step she took, how the slow blue veins that stood out near her ankles became bluer and darker as she pointed her toes. it’s too bad, he thought, as he cleared his throat lightly and adjusted the bag against his arm, that i’ll have to leave so soon.
Jessica
The sacrifice he made coming to visit me. I know he has things to do, I know there’s work, school, his own life but still he came. And that had to mean something right? He came and that’s what mattered to me and hopefully it meant something to him. Hopefully for that hour he was able to forget the stress, forget world and just be with me.
she sacrificed so many things in her life for him..she left her home she left her friends she left her body she left her life behind, my meaning of love comes together …i love you mom (:
You have to sacrifice a lot in life like friends and family to make the right choices. Sacrificing may not be easy, such as choosing between a friend or a boyfriend/girlfriend, but choices have to be made and people have to life with their regrets in life.
Dusti
there are many things in life that could be sacrificed, put on the back burner, just simply not given as much attention as usual, but people don’t want to live this way. they don’t see the point or the importance, which is indeed a shame. i think being more humble and living more simply often means living in what may seem like a state of sacrifice.
I sacrifice a lot to come to school. I pay for my own tuition so my parents do not need to suffer as much. They have sacrificed a lot for me already and I do not want to put another burden on them.

The roaring and roasting continued as Jensen tried in vain to find shelter against the short concrete wall.
“If I turn inward I sacrifice my back side and if I turn outwards I sacrifice my front,” he thought.
“Jesus, why can’t I just go to work and sacrifice my natural instincts like I used to. THAT wasn’t so bad. But I gotta figure, those days are done.”
When one thinks of a sacrifice, what would be a true sacrifice? Sacrifice of a material thing or of something more intangible? Glory? Pleasure? When I think of a sacrifice I think of the people I would sacrifice for.
Sacrifice is living
Living is making sacrifices
It’s what we keep is what most important
Keeping is caring
Vandamme
She spent hours thinking about her sacrifice. Where would she go? What would she do? She had tried so hard and had spent so much time daydreaming, that she could no longer contain herself. She threw herself onto the rocks below, falling and thinking the entire time about she could not have him, could never have him, could never be his. Her sacrifice was to save herself from a life of secrecy and deceit.
Jessica
Sacrifice is when people put their personal needs aside just for the sake of their loved ones.
Its the time where they realize that they don’t come first in their own list.
maryam
What people have to do in order to get what they actually want out of life.
To live is to sacrifice at some point or you aren’t doing it right.
Is characterized in many of our popular films, books, media, etc.
Michael
to give something up. to risk your own life for something like batman does daily. many people sacrifice such as jesus did for you and me. people sacrifice mostly for something or someone of who they love. or if they are the kind of people who are nice.
maddy
It was the ultimate sacrifice. But if it was done to save her, to save Alice, then I would do anything to save her life. Is my life is what was required to save her’s, I would happily send my soul to the underworld knowing that she was going to live a happy life. And she would.
They never quite notice how much you’ve changed, and in the end, it took you much longer than it should have. Nothing seems the same after so long, and by now you’ve forgotten how to think the way you once did.
Crystal
sacrifices made to gods in histoircal times were often drawn out and gory. the people would do everything for their gods, even human sacrifice. i’m not sure how they chose who to sacrifice. but it must have been a terrible job.
laurabean
it’s horrible. why would you want to sacrifice anything? in the olden days people would sacrifice little animals for the gods to be happy with them… horrible. but i guess it can also be sweet. like if a someone sacrificed themselves to save you. awww.
Samira
When does the sacrifice meet the road? When does it pay off? When does it get easier? The reward is in the process and the change will come if the mind follows.
Christian
sacrifice is a familiar word. i sacrifice the things i need for the things i want — all the time. i’ve sacrificed people in my life for the wrong reasons. i’ve sacrificed my health for a good time. i’ve even sacrificed you, yes you, wherever you are, whoever you think you are. at some point in time, i sacrificed you.
She fell to the floor as her knees buckled underneath her. Gasping for breath through her sobs, all the memories of everything they had flooded through her head like a never ending storm. She never thought that it would come to this and she never thought that she would be the one to end it.
a mother’s sacrifice to her child is very beautiful.
nine months of weight and hunger and tears and everything.
Do you know for insects it cuts their lifespan in half
octopuses die
for love
this is a sacrifice they all make
for new life
It was a split second, a bolt of green light. He saw his life flash before his eyes. The Boy Who Lived was going to die – finally!, he thought. He has been waiting too long, ever since that decision he made at King’s Cross after talking with Dumbledore, the decision he HAD to make because it was expected of him, it was needed. Suddenly another body in front of him – shielding, protecting, sacrificing a life Harry himself had saved years ago. Then Draco was dead – and with him all the light that had been left in Harry’s life, after everyone he loved had been killed in the Third Wizarding War, everyone but Draco. Now there was merely Darkness. He lifted his wand and everything went green.
I stare at the puddles of blood around my sacrifice. They deserved to die. They had murdered my mother and my father. It’s not wrong. I’ve got the right to have killed them. I look down at my knife and watch the blood drip slowly to the floor. This is such sweet revenge.
Sacrifice? What does that mean to some people? I mean Holocaust means sacrifice, but was it REALLY a sacrifice? It was more a massacre. I mean really, who was Hitler sacrificing to? No-one? I see. Sacrifice is to mean something, to appease someone else. Really, what do you think?
Amy
If I cling to sanity
I sacrifice every talent I have
My only talent
My only true love that gives me my purpose
My head isn’t right,
People stay clear
But even if they liked me with no talent
I wouldn’t sacrifice these words for the world
People think they’ve seen the ending of me
But this is only the humble beginning
Kidd
sacrifice is a huge part of everyones life. everyone has to give one thing up in order to gain more of something else. this reminds me of the term oppertunity cost that i learned in econ 102. life is full of choices and making mistakes and learning from those mistakes. sacrifice is the reason why people grow individually and learn how to make appropirate choices for the situations they are presented with. this
Melissa
To me the best possible thing to aspire towards and one of the hardest things to actually attain, beyond serving our own needs, it’s hard to put someone else first.
Nate
sacrifice was a word i never really understood growing up. and then someone proved to me that sacrifice was real. my mother has been there for me everyday of my life. when things for me were terrible and seemed to never get any better, she made it better. she sacrificed everything for me and ill never know how to repay her…my mother sacrificed everything… <3
Do you have to really be at stake to do something is right?
That question had been circling Taeyeon’s mind for quite a while now and she wasn’t sure if all the things were worth everything. And so, she did take a deep breath for a moment, and stepped back from Tiffany’s door, lower her pale, scared, knuckles and retreated to her room.
Their friendship, so to say, Taeyeon might actually laugh, were some things, when at stake, should not be sacrificed.
“Just friends, shall we?” she asked her diary with a sullen smile.

sacrifice is to give all you can for the one you love and cherish.
Let’s feed them rice
And count them twice
And we will never
Sacrifice
Another one
Under the sun
And so we won,
The sacrifice!

little bits of pain and heartbreak, necessary in order to reach your goal and happiness. usually worth making.
love. love is the most truest sacrifice in this life.
