some forgive to forget
some forget to forgive
both learning to resist
control
desire
weak appeal for new life
making nice to survive
burning out from within
decide
if I want
spite to be my legacy
refine
if I want
define my lines
define my being
when you speak about anger
will you think about mine?
when I dream about a legacy after
the world has said “no” to my face
while belief was healing
trust pushed to make time
both were leaning hard on
control
desire
same blood, same empire
backs turned to inspire
feign lust to provide
decide
if I want
spite to be my legacy
refine
if I want
define my lines
define my being
when you speak about failure
will you think about mine?
when a dream about a legacy
ends with laughter in my face
