The Icon of Self-Indulgence

Stripe me with your sexiness… whip me naked Naked and ashamed… Naked and ashamed… Naked and ashamed… Tame me now or never and never again will I be shady Sugar-coated shame embraced me Work it out and shake off the stress Address the pain of pouring sun Triggered by the sound of a gun Your remarks aren’t tolerated here, Enveloped in mere fear The icon of self-indulgence embraces me Embraces me… Can’t you see? I talk none… Okay, you won But, don’t hurt me again So kind Yet, left behind So humble Yet, prideful and confident Who am I? Who am I? Am I not a follower of God and Christ? I swelter in my shelter and all I see is a blur I read to make sure My vocabulary is straightened out Raped by rue Out of the blue Why does it have to happen to me? Why does it have to happen to me? Echo me your lullabies…waving my goodbyes… Demonic and symphonic I’ve learned to me Therapeutic and epic I’ve earned a C A C or higher is considered passing, but effort with a F is better than any other grade because I TRIED. I TRIED. Teachers, I’m tired of being told what to do Students, I’m sick of being bullied and I’m bold too Bold too…bold too… But, everywhere you go, I end up with you… I end up with you… I end up with you… I end up here without you I cleaned up my act and backpack at least Unaware of the time…spending it oh so sublime Crazy insane Laughing…c-can’t stop laughing Coughing up blood of blasphemy You can never see me in need of you! At least, that’s what I think I check out models and wink In disaster, I slowly and silently…sink. Sink. I think. I blush pink. I look beyond the physical appearance Daydreamin’…in a rush… Darling angel, I smile in remembrance Commercials of plenty in my mind due to watching too much TV TELEVISION…to see… I am great after looking up illuminati – The **** of the “New World Order” Shattered regrets Piling of debts Amazing things that happen these days Are we Friends with Benefits ?
