Thabiso Xulu Poet Imagism

I'M Lost

I'm stuck in this confusion of probability
Assuming a character to play my role in reality
Just playing an ideal identity
My life feels like a dress up
Living every day like it's Halloween
Wearing a musk trying to cover the sins within
TRUTH IS!! I'm lost

I'm broken as mirror, life long bad luck
Karma has got a price tag on my head
Cause I tried to run away from my sins 
thought water could cleanse corruption's blood on my hands
Mercy on my soul for its innocence
cursed be the brain & heart for their sinful illusions
Apology to the many flesh I've let down

Now I look back to the past 
If I had stayed true to myself 
Where would I have been in life
Of all the sad stories I have heard my life is one of them
Reality inflicts pain on my chest 
Uncovering the conspiracy behind my actions
