Glaring defects of character
Emblazoned in my soul
How can I forge ahead
All these lies that I have told
The deeds; unkind and dirty
They swirl around my mind
Can I ever be human again
Where’s the peace I need to find
A death warrant appendage
The darkness it’s so foreboding
My skin crawls with sickened rage
Character defects still glowing
One day at a time
That’s what they always say
One second at a time
That’s how I live today.
