I am
born with the urge to go astray
guilty in the eyes looking my way
begging for forgiveness and I pray
unshielded and my flaws mark my mistakes
I am
the universe and life serves only me
as long as I surrender everything
the master and the slave eternally
atoning for the sins that I repeat
I am
the victim and the predator in one
awaiting life through death that is to come
falling on my sword I am undone
a victor of my flaw and fate has won
I am
before and after all of this combined
an endless battle fought inside the mind
shackled with the fact justice is blind
my blood cleansing a stain that wasn’t mine
after all
maybe it’s the best of me
maybe it is the worst
maybe grace awaits me patiently
maybe I must go first
reveal the fears that haunt me
so that you can finally see
that the good and bad inside a heart contain it equally
