Penance

We learnt from lessons, for change I plea
Cages find captives, circumstances freeze
I am stood here now with path left behind
Tested and trailed with my spirit refined

Libido plagues innocence, warp pure thoughts
Adoration, affection twist and contort
Desire brought from a source of feelings
I want true emotion, not this plastic I'm dreaming

Gula be one of whom i don't know
For things we consume I tend to forgo
But there are times when the mind is distraught
Edacity take hold, binge commence with absent thought

Avaritia another who tends to stray
For I ask for nothing, wishes are too hard to convey
All I would want is to be bestowed one gift
But it be my secret that I will never let drift

Socordia be the worst for me
For when I lack motive, you are all I see
Please be gone forever and leave me with haste
For when I'm seen with you, its disapproval I taste

Ira your one who grows deep inside
Sleeping dormant you will never subside
Keep growing while hidden I feel you
I hope that your time will never be due

Invidia you have managed to colour every face
I see couples with something I lost or misplaced
I need that something, its absence fills me with hate
but I know that one day I'll get it if I'm willing to wait

Superbia be a label I keep forgetting to wear
it be a gap in my collection i'd rather leave bare
for if I indulge in your ways I'll sadly find
I'll lose more then I've lost and you will be what l hide behind

There are 7 of you and one of I
Self-deprecation, atonement conected with ties
But things have not undergone that desired change
For it, anything I'm willing to exchange.
