I.
Amongst the plethora of spiritual abundance
I have a wicked weakness for indulgence
Waging war upon depression
Self-flagellating for imagined transgressions
II.
Fears concealed by the thin facade of rectitude
It's all but performative purity
Daren’t miss a beat, lest I may be rendered nude
To the starved world as an attraction touristy

III.
Brokered painful peace with the stranger
Who lurks amidst my two-bit mind
Issuing him unfettered rule for the remainder
Of the mortal coil spent entwined
IV.
I've wasted every second of every day
Forgetting to live, dying to stave off decay
