  • Basically the same thing

    I show you faith, 
                              You show me how wrong I AM,
    I show you good intentions, 
                              I can go to hell with all of them. 
    I show you kindness, 
                             Your pride tells me to go fuck myself.
    I take responsibility for my action,
    Hating my weaknesses, being too wrong, 
    Accepting them, still being too wrong, thus unacceptable.
    I show you my lost faith.... 
                                             restored.
    I show you then even more...

    I tell you lies you can happily live for,
    With my stupid work you can make your fortunes in 'your' everything. 

    I tell you then the truth, but you won't believe it...
    I tell you that I don't care, I lived it...
    I cry but my tears only amuse you and your ways... 
    I'm thankful for my pride, my sorrow forced into a lie acceptable, 
    A truth when it got possible to be lived. 
    The second chance to ... basically the same thing.

    Poem explaining salvation and the way we all have to take... Sacrificing ourselves for something in this life... something that will mean all the somebodies we probably cared for or loved.
