STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION

 

I’m still under construction 

a mere human flaunting his flaws 

showing signs of weakness and less strength

bane being hoping to break free

still under construction

wasn’t created perfect to exist 

my flaws becomes shackles on my feet 

my hands tied with dishonor and shame 

I’m still under construction 

my constant illusion of self-importance 

pride and prejudice 

I am my own conflagration 

still under construction 

babel echoes in my head 

a gifted ache to distort my vision 

I house a lot of pain 

I’m still under construction 

I swim and dine with my darkness 

a part of me I have to co-exist with 

bitter-sweet pills I swallow every goddamn day

still under construction 

I love you more as I love you less 

a partial paralysis of hope and despair

a weakness I pray never lead me to my doom
