Throwing Away Heart

There is some trouble in the near distance

The assault can be seen coming your way

Eyes are searching for the guilty to blame

Feeling the shame, you deny it away

There have been many mistakes on your part

But the things done are not so worrisome

As admitting it to yourself or others

You rather degrade another to scum

When they aren’t enough you use you own self

The fire of self-deceit grows within

And starts feverishly consuming you

Using who you are to cover its skin

It takes your slightest flaws and grows them tall

And they become martyrs of your failure

You hold yourself liable for nothing

Because you can’t help your human nature

As you stoop lower for any excuse

You start to do what you aimed to avoid

The justifications start to become truths

And confidence crumbles and is destroyed

Troubles on my heart
Erodoing the place they sit
My chest tears apart
