Torn Self

Every one of us is lost against ourselves,

And pushing through the constant struggle of forward thought

This thing we call humanity

Has brought us down, and has us caught

Is this what I've become? A callous, uncaring soul

That allows the will of flesh to dominate and control

This is my counter attack

Starve the self, and empower the soul

This path I chose, once again made whole

Torn between self and soul

With first step forward

I've become a new creation

Free from self and thinking clearly

My soul chokes the last impurities from my flesh

And I'm given a second chance... but this time

I let myself die
