Finding Me

We all have secrets to hide  
A cold shame we often lied  
All the lust and love denied  
We’re living yet dead inside  
 
Scared to remove my mask  
Upon light and staring dusk  
Vile duplicity of rotten trust  
Honor darken turned unjust  
 
With vices of perverse folks  
Dazzled by ecstasies evoked  
Tongue tied unfitted to talk  
Delights in different strokes  
 
A prisoner of my own mind  
Gratification became divine  
In deception I was confined  
In veracity my voice inclined  
 
The hearts I’ve had broken  
My corrupted soul awakens  
Virtue and innocence taken  
Suffering remains unspoken  
 
The way of life I’m thriving  
My faith is scarcely hanging  
Clemency I’ve been longing  
Misfortune only prolonging  
 
Decaying hope of torments  
Heart of desolate fragments  
Sins reflect thru pavements  
My resolution grew tangent  
 
Drowning in this infinite sea  
Culpable is my awaiting plea  
Absolution bestow upon me  
Vindicate my unfulfilled duty  
 
Beguiled by feigned morality  
People of fallacious tapestry  
I will not falter from lucidity  
I was blinded but now I see
