something totally random, not really sure what inspired this. I am what you want me to be nothing more, nothing less My sins stain me, inside and out The guilt is overwhelming. I pretend to be innocent but you know the truth. In that moment, looking into your eyes Innocence faded away. Screaming, pleading Looking for solace with you Waiting for peace I beg you to show me how to find it Innocence and guilt intertwined Suffocating me with their relentlessness for control I give in to the pain Taking my final breath.
I like it. I get a sense of "was myself" vs "what I want to be" Push-pull. Inner-conflict. Probably was inspired by "what you've done" and how it is today, and your yearning for forgiveness of then. good poem, or i totally interpreted it wrong.
Thanks Robert. Seriously, it was just one of those things that came to me for no apparent reason. Glad you liked it though =)
It's not bad. I like how it's structured, I think that makes it pretty ominous, but I think it could maybe do with being a little less vague/more detailed.
