Description
Despite myselfEver since I was twelve
I always thought I was better
My mythological mind frame
Kept me sane
I chose this life
Mental binding - physical torture - it killed me
Reality is perverse with karma in reverse
I had no strength left to plea
Twisted, wrapped, and left alone
Repeated, deleted, and once again, cloned
Molded with my right hand holding hell's door
I always impatiently awaited death
I never thought I could take any more.
Yet, as I grew, I always knew
I chose this life
At thirteen I buried my soul
Deep in this hole
Adrenaline balanced on a pin
Life fed sin can never win
When exhaustion takes its toll.
With a packed suitcase under my bed
Enough was said
The boy with feet made of lead
Grabbed his pride and fled
Hour twenty-four
I opened that car door
I knew I was in store for more
I chose this life
Life cascades and memories fade
I woke up one morning
And found my dues paid
Peace of mind
Has finally stayed
It’s about time
Time to unwind
Lay it all on the line
Find someone kind
Someone so inclined to remind
I chose this life

pretty good.
at first i didn't understand it, but, after i reread it, i really liked it. i like the progression, the rhythm... i think what lost me, though, was the second stanza. afterword i realized it was just the setup.
nicely done.
