The Resolution Door

Back against "The Resolution Door"

the first thing that hits you is the

depravity, then self-loathing follows 

close behind. Then just when hoping 

the first thought was getting better.

That you're getting the upper-hands  

and there can't be too much longer.

The head goes light, as the light goes 

out. 

When the lights come on, reality sets

in.

Obstructed by responsibility-weighted

inside here.

Moral code aligns and then provides 

possible directions.

Instincts, a natural pre-set driving 

the final decision.

I'd take me with me, but only if 

I'll 

	Let 

		
		Me. 

|| Verdict? ||
