Years of my life

wasted on trying to discover myself

to be aware

of what the blood in my veins was

made up of

Was it fraud

Was it not

Was it love

Was it gone

I thought I got or right

when I realized

that I'm a human

but also the sun

I convinced myself of my capacity

while the universe planned an even

bigger tragedy

it told me

that the blood in my veins

isn't fraud

or love

or gone

its simply hamartia

which will stay with me for as long as

I live

it will never leave my side

for it will forever be carved in my

mind

The truth is supposed to set you free

but mercilessly

it imprisoned me
