The Suppositional Empyrean

They undermined my propensity to do good

but overestimated my ability to commit evil.

And so is the world; every single person around me.

Makes me wonder if there'll ever be another who knows me as me.

Heard there's something called prayer but will it work for a sinner like me.

Cuz just like the people around me, religion has condemned me to a fate for people like me.

Burning, suffering and it all over again.

So should I change my ways ?

Should I not do what makes me happy?

Should I not do what makes me feel alive ?

Should I let go of my hedonistic indulgences?

Or substitute it for the suppositional empyrean?

Heard it takes faith to believe but just like everything I see, I believe in what I can feel.
