The Seven Deadly Sins
I’m never proud of me, but I couldn’t be more proud of you
I’ve lost myself again, but what if finding me takes losing everything else, too?
I’ve never wanted anything more than to reach out and feel your touch
That will never happen because I’m not her, and it pains me so much
I’ll sit in this

The Seven Deadly Sins
ON SEVEN DEADLY SINS
The seven deadly sins are the humans' true creations.
To live with gluttony
sexual actions digest the disruption of the mind,
gluttony is a luxuria of food.
To be lustful
lecherousness is never satisfied,
it develops into an inflamed and insane craving.
To have greed
either for money or power.
To enjoy slothfulness
to lazy about without a care in the world.
To

Seductions of Sin'
Seductions of Sin
With the lusts of the world:
do I thee; threaten more?
Is this what the world has to offer;
since its originated defiance?
That set the scene for this world;
to attest and set afire,
for the rest of 'sin' to complete with such desire!
The call is strong in sin here:
am I too

Envy
The sin of Envy-
a sin of self-indulgence
that scorns everything
one can't do or have.
Envy hates- feels entitled-
whether earned or not.

The New Seven Deadly Sins
I think it's time to do an update
Of The Seven Deadly Sins
Most people do not know them all
Sit down and let's begin
I'm not really religious
But, I think they're a bit stale
So, I think I'll spruce them up a bit
In this my sinly tale
Gluttony, a sin of course
I think it should be changed
With an asterick, obesity
There,

Seven Deadly Sins
Infatuation with your laws
Reluctance with with your flaws
Admiration is pointless
When superiority is never less
Oblivious to your own riches
Keep adding more wishes
Now you go and guess
Unable to stop thinking, life is less
Can't accept what you can't own
A sudden change in your tone
Desire for other's happiness
Leaves you in a dark chaotic mess
The fingers are itch

The Seven Deadly Sins
If you laugh at anger and allow some pride,
You may not be quite the same person inside;
If you ignore a little greed, just to yourself,
And inspect sloth in worship as an act of self,
You’ll become lazy more often than you like,
Expecting no consequences, no laborious hike,
Back to work, concern

Wronged--Seven Deadly Sins
Thank you for coming on short notice, sir.
A drink, perhaps, before we speak of her?
No? To bus’ness then. Ending civil strife
Requires me to move against my wife.
I trust that you will note I’m not to blame
When you have heard how I’ve been put to shame.
She scolds me when I’ve had too much to eat,
Objects when

The Seven Deadly Sins
The Seven Deadly Sins
Seven deadly sins:
Pride, Greed, Lust, Anger, Envy,
Gluttony and Sloth.
No altruism found here;
One-way street to selfishness.
Pride, Greed...self-centered.
All goals directed inward
To please only one...
Taker-Greed grabs, swindles all;
Boaster-Pride...smug, but lonely.
Lust and Gluttony;
Human over-indulgence
Of diverse cravings.
Lust for flesh...Gluttony, food.
Both are selfish abusers.
Anger and Envy
Sad sins of self-indulgence;
They feed each other.
Envy hates...wants what it sees;
Anger hates...wants its

There's seven deadly sins, I am number one.
When the darkness comes, I am very fun.
My wrath of death seems to follow you
turning your brightness into black and blue.
My anger is released into a manifestation
your punishment on others kills anticipation.
Your forceful abuse broke your husbands soul
you only need me to feel vigorous

Seven Deadly Sins
They look like they best things
When in reality they'll torture you
Until you're dead inside
There seven deadly sins were my life
The man who stood by me wasn't the one to blame
Although he made me feel more pride
Then anyone would consider human
And then I got too cocky
And he left me for the terrible things I'd done
It seemed

My Seven ''Deadly'' Sins
Oh pride, pride, I do have pride
Pride of my country, pride in my siblings, and my nephews and niece
I am proud of me too, I am a survivor, proud of every single word that I pen ~
Think, if one had zero pride what would we be
So, to me a certain amount of pride

Seven Deadly Sins
Suicidal motions following this melody
With pain comes ecstasy
Blood flowing instantly
Forming a beautiful monstrosity
Rage brings insanity
Uncontrollable profanity
The imminent loss of sanity
A horrifying calamity
Anger shadows envy
A need for this empty entity
A deep void inside of me
Filling it through gluttony
Coming from inside
My flaring pride
Moving every emotion aside
I can’t help but abide
I know what I need
To thrive through my

Seven Deadly Sins
My heart has become it's own person
My heart beats on just to torture my aching mind
Everyday my heart tricks my mind into
playing a game of the seven deadly sins,
My mind fails every time.
