Poetic Justice
Abandoned to my destiny
My legacy and fate
The timely end of all my deeds
My selfish love and hate
Freedom of a confined state
Imprisoned yet released
The condemnation of my life
Sometimes beauty
Sometimes beast
Judgement day approaches
As it's spotlight temporary blinds
Just who is my Juror
What verdict will they find?
Out into the wilderness
Where my past discretions burn
Where Justice deems it necessary
Lessons of life to learn
I take the cup of guilt held out
For this is my forgone fate
Strangely in my twisted mind
I feel banished and yet embraced
