Chapter 12 - Desires

The different desires that I keep

In the darkness of presumptions I leap

Sometimes I feel like it's too deep

Sometimes it's as shallow as my sleep

But I dive inside it expecting to meet

To either meet my demise or else my peak

Even though I feel wrong and cannot speak

I try to find something maybe a way to cheat

To cheat the pain and to escape the heat

While on my eardrum all these insecurities beat

They tell me how I look bad and cheap

They tell me how I am a certified creep

They tell me how I am ugly and a geek

They tell me why I am a complete freak

They tell me how to change myself and to tweak

To which modern standards I should plead

They drown me with doubts making me weak

But for some reason I am not able to follow them like all the other sheep's

All of their lies that I am not able to eat

I am way out of the Acknowledged league

Even though I am not unique I am always laid under this siege

I still have this pen in my hand which bleeds

But inside my deep consciousness I too hold a box of those desires

I am afraid if I open , they'll spread like wildfires

They'll make me act on my impulse, make me, one of the liars

if I act upon them I'll probably burn in the eternal fire

All the guilt that I will acquire

They'll stain a dark black on my clean attire

I'll be a devil's puppet hung by his wire

Those I say are my darkest desires

All the weights on my back they lay

With these burdens, Ill probably slowly decay

I am always expected to say that I am okay

But Will there be anyone left who'll remember me and pray?

To pray that I am okay on that last day

When I'll be given back to the soil and to the clay

And then I'll be called upon to say

To atone for all my sins and to pay

It's either heaven or hell on which forever we'll stay.
