√√ I don't need you anymore¶¶

Was I coerced to confess?
The dupes of my feelings?
Being merely like a victim
of a loss.
I turn to give in my all,
deeper like the ocean!
That holds all waste without moans, I only groan in my dying taste.
to amuse and clean the trash others criticize!
Why don't you recognise
my motif undertakings?

Society downgrades me because of you.
my siblings dispense me!
My friends no longer confide in my deeds.
Nevertheless, I hold unto no-confidence alive.
Holding to my bitterness,
hopeful to nothing,
the value of my presence.
I thirst for the kindness of my emotions.
perplex I fall,
deeper I dig,
cold my courage halt.

My wing no longer touches
the courage to spread.
Stiffer and stiffer to my dying grave.
Finally, I let go of the storm,
sober I relinquish it,
till the harmony of it,
I pray far away stay forever.
