Confessional

Lost in the labyrinth of life
Ran out of string some time ago
A fading reality
Keep it cautious
Dodge daggers from family, friends, and faculty
Actually tackling issues that throw off my balance
Mind blank for a second
Here comes Lucy whispering
"Stay Alive"
Reverse psychology
I want to die
Sunday school taught never do what Satan requires
Leave my grave unmarked and bring in the choir
Yell for my squire
Tell them scribe all my shortcomings, failures, and let downs
Don't forget all my scars and times I've bled out
Said his hand hurt
No time to rest now
At war but keep writing while you put on this vest
How
You expect this knight to jest on things that reflect out
Can you read a blind man's strength if his voice doesn't suggest power
Or take a warriors word if his words stress coward
For that's not how the world conditions you
You hear with ears and see with eyes
Instead of letting your spirit feel truth
You would assume it takes a slueth to deduce from reason
But the lack of faith is spiritual treason
However I must admit that I learn in seasons
So for me to tell you this
I bring us back to equilibrium
