Attraction

Powerful like magnet,
Pulling bodies into sinful lives
Unnoticed, the days pass,
Triggering unknown lies,

Law and justice,
Never comprehended,
Placing people where they don't belong,
Making the weak soul, face the strong,

Trying to confront our tears,
Trying to fight our deepest fears,
However, the attraction deceives us,
Into the endless torture, 
Of a slave by his overseer,

Discrimination, segregating the world,
Like night and day,
Like wrong and right,
Like tomorrow and today,

Suffocation emerging from every breath,
Swimming in our heart, making us torment,
While the tears of agony bleed from our eyes,
Drenching our body with weakness,

Attracted to the wrong,
While searching for the right,
Imprisoned, surrounded by sins,
Living life waiting for something realistic to begin...
