Caught Up
I didn't intend...
for this to be my end
Early on, I had dreams of college
But instead, I acquired street knowledge
High marks in breaking and entering
With masterful skills in cunning and scheming
Caught up!
I didn't intend...
for this to be my end
Creeping and lurking in the darkness
My outer and inner void of lightness
Slipping and dipping around corners
Stability and morality in my feeble state were like foreigners
Caught up!
I didn't intend...
for this to be my end
Now, tricking and cracking for an ephemeral smile
Not living but merely existing like a thrown-away child
Spiraling down into a burning canyon of nihility
Now, shamefully busted and disgusted I am, as I should be
