One Scream

Just one scream

Can undo everything

Everything I have accomplished

Within my own behavioral torment

Just like with cigarettes

One puff

Is too much

Then it's back to the same old patterns

With every justifiable mirror that is shattered

Every look that is correct

Has now been flipped

The bad guys win

And the show ends

With me feeling like I sinned

When this

Was the whole game

This regret is the reason they engage

It's their number one play

To make me feel and look insane

These intricate traps

Lead me into relapse

So,

The behavior can't be past tense

Because I can't ignore their torment.
