Oath



Oath

Self-destruction accomplishes not a thing
Behavior that punishes and has a sting
Surreal is the experience as you do
Unreal the expression with a clue

Why this human condition and mind negation?
Satisfaction is fleeting and immediately follows agitation
Regret is between the done and remorse
Yet all the oaths sworn to self come morning are tossed

Emotions drive despite reason’s reminder
Every step or action is a guilt ridden blunder
But all that counts is the feeling, casting all else asunder
Cries for help to prevent another lap find no listener

So the world closes in and forgiveness is a sin
Harsh self-reproach a step higher than a roach
Not worth it is known but there’s no escape once you’ve blown
I’ll stop this time is the moan as time moves towards the morn
