Made this when i felt like Throax’s story was too sad NOT to draw fanart of. Thankfully, the community agreed.

HE IS NOT ONE OF US!!!

The paths that I once tread, have all but gone.  
Now only embers smoulder where bridges once burn.  
I feel alive and yet I fear what may happen now.  
I know I can’t return.  
And I hear them say again,“Oh let me not return.”  
Damn the illusions of redemption and the hopes that held me here  
I will oppose all that would befall me, with the rage inside of me.  
I’ll defy what I would become.  
The solitude and anger that do battle inside of me  
Will always guide me to the answers that I know I may not see  
They are the bonds that hold me tighter, they are the chains that weigh on me.  
One day I know they will be gone.  
Can I start again and erase this pain  
By casting doubts into the water asking judgement of the sea?  
Though fortune may guide the fool I have no wish to be free  
Until I am gone.

@TheShadowscale
