Abandoned - Aethere

The person I’ve become

Is no longer fooled by the mask that he once wore

Disgusted with the concepts thought acceptable

Silencing any sort of voice

Sat and watched while allowing others to reign with no repercussions

How am I to protect you?

How am I to keep you safe?

While I continue to be this man

I’ve let the poison seep in

Let all that has consumed take control and let that person die

Rise from the blasphemy that made me wise

With those values I once felt were okay to turn a blind eye and allow

I deserved to feel that way

I was better off abandoned
