Down the road again
I found myself doing the same thing
repeatedly
Here I go once more
Talking to the mirror
Can I fight time?
Rhetorical
In my gears of war
I am prepared for a war I will surely fall
with my sweat
my blood
I know it is inevitable when time clocks on me
yet in all
My biggest enemy is myself
Who is gonna save me from myself?
Again rhetorical
Don't we all do it
redact the content
then reveal the secret
to a confidant
a friend, priest, a guardian
A liquid chain is created
a little yank here and there
unintentionally uncloaking the black diamonds
which split or divulge
the details
opening Pandora's box
Whose fault is it?
I created this cloud of regrets
rains of better outcomes of my decisions
melting away
I spilled this blood
and I am burned for it
I share my pain alone
reaping a distasteful harvest
Like a geisha
I conceal my true self from everyone
a stranger among friends
that auctioned my tales
In this general public life
Everyone spills
