Burning...

My foot on bursting lava,
it burns,it melts to the bone.
Leaving no trace of my existence
eating me through the core.

Upon being born an innocent,
hanging between life and death
had to learn the ways of a demon
surviving on blood and flesh.

Through all these years I tried
to live as I please,
to earn through my sweat and blood
but no one was convinced.

In horror of losing my dignity
I lost my integrity.
Twisted and turned what I could not justify.
I bluffed, I cheated , I lied.

I don't respect what I have become.
In retrospect I can blame no one.
Cause I chose what I did, decided what to be,
for my decisions were wrong, so was my destiny.
