SOTTO
Lust,
Gluttony, Sloth
Greed, Wrath
Envy, Pride
Confusion strikes me from inside
What is this?
Why should I continue, do you see me for who I am?
Molded, Impressed, Stamped, Manufactured
You’re sweet
You’re beautiful
You’re weird
You’re annoying
You’re pathetic
You’re weak
I AM ME
Stop doing this, start doing that, change this, improve that
JUST ME
But who am I?
Daughter, Sister, Brother, Son
Just peak underneath at what I have become
I want you, I want this, I want that.
Desires contain me in this world
Desires control me
But the moment I get what I desire, I must continue
Desire something else.
Be controlled by something else
A flaw in my makeup, you might pronounce
But it has left empty
It has left me no one
Not even myself
Underneath, who I am?
