this isn't me
What am I doing? This
Isn't me. I'm watching myself
Commit the unthinkable in
The name of duty and
I hate it.
Everyone is heralding me
A hero
When I only feel like the villain
Who actually wins. This isn't
Me.
When they said 'protect and serve'
I never knew that came with
Hands stained red. I fail to see
The honor in taking the lives of others.
This isn't me.
How can I live with myself? I
Toss and turn as the ghosts
Of my misdeeds choke the life
I have left. This isn't me.
It can't be.
