the weight of my indelible past,
has chained me to the ground.
my happiness could never last,
i can't fly for i'm tightly bound.
words etched into crevasses of my head,
oh! emancipate me from myself.
i'll never forget the callous things you said,
no ray of hope appears to help.
everything flashes before my eyes,
i wonder if i am unlovable.
love's been disingenuous: full of lies,
perhaps sins i committed are unforgivable.
pain and darkness are my companions,
i forbade myself from loving long ago.
the past is full of abominations,
my own mind is my greatest foe.
