Lust,

Gluttony, Sloth

Greed, Wrath

Envy, Pride

Confusion strikes me from inside 

What is this?

Why should I continue, do you see me for who I am?

Molded, Impressed, Stamped, Manufactured

You’re sweet

You’re beautiful

You’re weird

You’re annoying

You’re pathetic

You’re weak

 I AM ME

Stop doing this, start doing that, change this, improve that

JUST ME

But who am I?

Daughter, Sister, Brother, Son

Just peak underneath at what I have become

I want you, I want this, I want that.

Desires contain me in this world

Desires control me

But the moment I get what I desire, I must continue

Desire something else.

Be controlled by something else

A flaw in my makeup, you might pronounce

But it has left empty

It has left me no one

Not even myself

Underneath, who I am?
