Lesson Learned
The spin to my records, Scream
Makes it all easier
To face the music
Relentless trouble
And I drown it all out with noise
A choice between Hell and America
Heaven now too good for anyone
I perish between
The perfect and righteous
The flawed, Rip the hostages
I've trapped
In my mind
They are chained and scarred by my mistakes
That in the moment were choices opposed
To a dead end
My screams now level
Only an octave higher
From the massacre I've deserved
I've been targeted
After...
All the abuse and trauma I caused
How could I have known then?
My mind once creating scenarios on how
I'd sceme my way into getting what I craved
I, deprived of what was not needed
Just wanted it so bad
Those I've hurt
I'd never hurt again
If given all tools and resources to do such
I'd use them upon my soul
To dispose of reek planted by shame
You live and learn
And all my knowledge now
Is put on hold until
Their hurt
Mirrors mine
Resembling
Shattered plastic
Because I'm stubborn
And Glass too fragile
Reminds me of a relic reflection
