Faith Invested is Life Riskéd.


Teeming with multiple personalities, I feel the Legion swell within me. I fight against Layers of self-defense. Long gone, the search to fleet just a virus. With eyes, undecided, how can they locate a difference? There is not a soul to which I can speak; Consistency is gained when my company leaves. Then my dissented inner-community Will riot, all parties proclaiming, "I am king!" What unnecessary democracy! What your heart should seek Is just as obvious as my rhyme-scheme. Yet these excuses, these exceptions: That with the intent of something better; To teach a falling bird to fly In hopes it will carry the weight of your treachery. Deceitful, to claim your careful style reflects reality.
