Pain's unavoidable; from birth,
it tests the mettle of our worth.
And the truth's veiled behind the lie
that our souls ascend when we die.
Trust is a ticket to deceive
both believers and the naive.
It takes a hardened heart to win,
forged by greed and quenched in sin.
Like Jekyll and Hyde, love-hate
are conjoined boundaries of fate.
Angels and monsters mirror me,
reflecting raw reality.
Dallying in the wake of fears,
feelings, bequeath sadness, and tears.
But when I exhale that last breath,
oblivion will unmask death.
