I am impure, impulsive,
infamous,
intent on improving internally.
Complex poise
my remorse, internal noise
seduction tastes chic
gravitated towards solidified beliefs
have faith and loyalty only made me weak?
For their benefit, I place my rage at my feet
below the labels, below the disease
are shouts for a familiar release
The Baptized Barbarian
Bold in blood, he's bizarre, beware
A cataclysmic catalyst,
using methodical mental mechanics
mixed with celestial cerebral magic;
to sharpen my mind's talons.
Knowledge is lethal, to an ethereal heretic
this warrior hereditary, began harnessing harmony
while his destiny landed in disarray.
A harrowing hero, emergence from terror
the dauntless arrow, aimed straight and narrow
break me never
courage fused with my bone marrow.
In the depths of disaster
my reservoirs of resilience
are master. Alluring Alpha,
but my arrogance has cost me:
Financing selfish flesh.
Amplifying the disconnect, the recompense
I must pay to be a decent man.
Carry on Camelot, continue like nothing's wrong
I share this semi-song, to pass along
the judgment I felt passing through throngs
of people eyeing me, expecting me to evolve
I adapted an internal calm, to feel like I belong.
