~•§•~ Hesitant ~•§•~
A new found enjoyment, not heaven sent
Still drawn to it like a moth to a flame
Don't share in my regret, promise to stay distant
I couldn't bare to see you in this much pain
Find me ambivalent to some extent
To take another step if it's in vain
Notice I'm hesitant to place a bet
L's stack shame on top of shame atop my name
Life itself's a debt, lest we forget
The plot and grave are one in the same
A dark passenger resident denise me residence
How did I lose access to my own brain
To myself I'm a threat, morality bent
Just so I'm not always going against the grain
Don't care 'bout bein' relevant, never permanent
But pain finds a way to remain
No clue what it meant is a poor argument
Would rather not waste time trying to explain
One day you might get it, wouldn't count on it
Strange to be your very own ball and chain
Go 'head and attempt it, see no safety net
You WILL become one with the terrain
Flesh and bone, neck and neck racing to pavement
Then witness the insane riddled membrane
Always defiant, against my better judgement
Probably should have stayed in my own lane
No deterrent to embracing my inner deviant
A full embrace of the profane
Won't seek atonement, least not at the moment
I only wish the only option was to remain
There's a death certificate, a signed suicide document
The growing black mark on my heart is more than a stain
So here I sit, trying to make sense of it
Unknown, alone and forgotten out in the rain
Selfimprisonment, a life sentence recipient
The issues with my DNA, infecting every strain
