Karma


Run, stifling
Where can you go?
Insincere, sniveling 
Trying to keep your head low
 
Doubt, humiliation made you a coward
Well, the hope could this be your final hour?
 
Before 
Below, behind
The mask you put on that person's face
Once as exquisite and frail as lace
 
Crumbling in ash and 
Depression darkened your angel's view 
But, you were too ashamed
To face the illumination.
