This is the waste
Of the pretentious life that I live
Invisible, unkind
And unwilling to just give
Though I have nothing left to give
The greater part of me was lost for lust
I set myself up for failure
And allowed my will to fade into distrust
I can’t truly live this false life
That’s been set before my feet
Though I scream inside for escape
On the outside I can only face defeat
What to do?
Give up, give in
Draw the final line
Though it’s stretching far too thin
My resolve that is
my only path to finding salvation
My one escape is failing me now
My latest revelation
If I make this right in time
To restore who I used to be
Maybe I’ll finally realise
I can’t go back to being me
