For shore, I will die
Prematurely
Hence, why I am willing to speak
For I have forsaken so much integrity
In hiding a tail that, for others, is easy
Drowning as a mute
While dying to breathe
In the face of so much depth
It seemed worth these last gasps
To lose you to truths
Instead of lies of my past
And it’s not serene
Knowing judgement’s cost as I do
But I would rather see this farewell through
Than die in the quiet certitude
That only my maddened mind
Let itself be known
