confidence(con) stripped(tripped) bare(bar)

my obsession(another session), downfall(ownfall)

parts, though no longer, me

my descension(senseless), my call

conscience(con) seared(red) bare(bar)

my deception(septic), recall

fragmented(rage), no longer, free

my revocation(action), stall(e)

abstinence(tine) unappealing(peel)

my addiction, not at all

compartments, of my life(lie),

my conviction(convict), stonewall(ton)

*

confidence(confide) recovered(cover)

my obsession, battle uphill(up)

pieces, though no longer, me, discarded(care)

my ascension(censor), my call

conscience(science) strengthened(end?)

my honesty(honey), brutal(vital)

fragmented, still - but free

my revocation(vocation), not stalled

abstinence, beautiful feeling

my addiction - not it all

compartments, opened, of my life

my conviction, stand tall
