A traitorous mind
July 19, 2013
Oh mind, listen
I am inconsolable
As I stand here, withering
And the rocks start to shake
Oh body, straighten
Even if I go, be dignified
Will I now belong to the devil?
Whose is it to determine me - myself?
Oh smile, plastered
The sea is calling me now
Temptation is there, be just
As I start to fall, I cough up mud
And I realize I'm underground.
