Deceit. Enjoyment.
Defiance. Empowerment.
Choice? Not an option.
But that didn't change a thing,
Did it?

Nauseous. Paranoia.
Wrath. Remorse.
Silence. Was it even worth it?
Game Over.

The author's comments:
This piece is about an experience I had in my own life, where I mad a bad decision and had to pay for it. It made me realize that sometimes I do the wrong thing, even when I know that it is wrong, and the consequences aren't worth it.
