Vuluntary Weakness
Becoming the man I have become
Raging with massive desires
To end the misery in my perilous life
Challenging the riveting ciphers
Ripping through like a sharpened steel knife
I bring the pain upon myself
Every moment in my days
I have drowned myself in a spiraling haze
Embedded in my brain
Is the drive to struggle in vain
Cleansing my soul seems impossible
Treading through oblivious darkening clouds
My ever-profound realizations
Only make me stronger!
You can’t break me for I am no longer!
Completely erased
The man I used to be
I’ve been reaching out
But I have lost all connection
I am a different person
Taken from this evil resurrection
I am forced to crawl
As I feel the need to stall
The never ending procrastinations
Weeping silently on the cold ground
If I chose to fight
I would be forever separated from the light
Living in this Hell
I could choose to rebel
The consequence of standing up for myself
To enhance my pride
Will only make the situation worse
Forcing me to drown in the thirst
I am not weak
I save my energy for a time of greater need
You will all see
What lies beneath my soften skin
A diamond core
Embraced by the terrible remains of my sin
