Surrender

is it possible to commit
a multitude of sins,
and still come out on top
as the only one who wins.
My impulses are satisfied
so my conscience is tainted.
I starved my deceit
to the point i nearly fainted.
I am only human
I can't torture desire.
To drown in the norm
will extinguish the fire.
So be who you are
and give into your urges
because to be suppressed and unhappy,
never shows courage
