Many days and many nights I couldn’t reach catharsis. Narcissistic dialogue and lust was how it started. Lust for power, Lust for ***, I balanced on the wire. Built my tower, Learned to flex, Never thought I’d tire. While looking for a diamond crown I made my way to glory: Carved a track through youthful bliss all while writing my own story. From troubled teen To filled with dreams, I formed the squad into a team. I wouldn’t scream when things got tough; I’d always keep composure. Intelligent with malevolence Was how I’d learned to soldier. No disclosure, Never trust, Looking to manipulate. Made it known It was a must For opponents to capitulate. Things were moving well enough When dear old lust in whom we trust… Reappeared back on the scene, And of my feathers Began to preen.
So,
Doubled down, Went for the crown. Changed the crew, Time it flew. Golden status Seemed so near, But red and blue Were in the mirror News had spread; My walls were breached. Of loss I had no knowledge. Prison bread; Amongst the freaks. Twenty-five for living lawless. For God had turned and dealt a blow For all of those bad seeds I’d sewed. And blow for blow In social woe I’ve lived my life in shackles.
