KEEPING ON

All this time, they tried to fool me

Confusing my soul.

Consuming my body.

Breaking my rules imposing theirs.

Erasing my sight.

To perpetuate instantaneous liquid pleasures.

For their own ego's sake.

All of those people, those vampire eyes

Did the best of worse trying to fade away the expression of love.

They abused my youth, my innocence, my curious way to roll the deep.

I was growing, you only transmutated my will of experience in lies

But I resist on this unsure sea of emotions.

My self-love found home inside me.

And I keep on, resilient.
