Sins and virtues
Some see my pride, some think its confidence
My facade of kindness in the face of forced abstinence
In the middle of an epidemic of indifference
Those who really know, know its my own self punishment
When greed and sloth and gluttony, lay waste to fortitude and charity
And mysticism fills the void of the absence of humanity
Only in this world can my anger be envied
by the masses of the reprobates who delight in my cruelty
And the venom that I spew
is funny as long as it not aimed at you
If lust is a deadly sin and patients is a virtue
It says a lot about my character when I cant wait to fuck you
Then leave you in the morning doubting your decisions
As I drive home and rationalize
If you want me than your not good enough
well at least not in my eyes
Mourning a loss for something that was an illusion
Cursing at God and blaming this world
when it was myself who wouldn’t even try
So where is god in all of this doubt and pain,
shooting dice for my soul in this grandeur of dilution
As I’m standing in a doorway that leads to the abyss
Time to turn around slam the door shout, scream or cry
Drop to my knees and pray to the sky.
That I can stop
Spending half the time in a mode of self destruction
and the rest trying to fix the situation
Of my self imposed desperation
By crushing pseudo vanity or living vicariously
And stumbling through life hilariously
And prey to anything for just a little help
And try to create my own salvation
As I navigate my sins and virtues
And finally end this moral
corruption
