Living For the Moment

Taking in the air.
Living for the moment.
Undressing this wicked witch,
called "life."
Just searching for the truth in her.
The power to motivate,
and manipulate
has me believing
I make this earth quake.

My compulsion for chaos
has become my way to escape.
Previous struggles linger.
Thinking all my faults
are at my own cost.
Leading my life like I'm the only boss.
Struggling with this paradox...
