Good Man

Oh dear heaven,
What have I done,
" This is not you, anymore"
She says with a wryly voice,
Oh dear god, Help,
I can't recall myself,
from all those exotic  thoughts and dos,
Evil, Evil where are you taking me
I'm damaging myself, in many ways
Letting go of what I have been strongly holding to,
Sorry was not just for you,
Now,my body aches of guilt and regret,
Sooner, they will eat me alive,
I'm sorry, you had to watch me
Chocking during sleep,
I'm sorry, you had to see me,
Hiding behind walls,
I'm sorry, you had to listen,
The fear within me,
I try to wash out the fear and pain,
But nothing goes away,
" This is not you, anymore"
She says with a wryly voice,
Oh dear heaven,
Had this place just overcame my innocence,
I do belong, true,
Pray for me, mother,
That What I've done,
Won't come running after me,
Chasing me because I got no strength left to run,
I'm a good man, mother,
Ain't I ?
