My Soul

Sometimes I can’t help but feel that I am to blame

That if it wasn’t for me these situations wouldn’t be the same

Guess I never considered the precautions 

For they were always listening to my discussions

Soaking it all up like a sponge

And now in them all my traits plunge

Took them over, they had no hope

Set them forth on their slippery slope

Just falling, falling- all because of me

All because of the things I let them see

Let them see me so out of control

Let them be influenced by a broken soul

Slowly breaking their own

I wish my own soul I could disown

Just burn it for eternity

For taking away their identity

Taking away their chance

Because I gave them a glance

Into the eyes of the devil

Now I just try to act like some angel

Acting like forgiveness is enough to settle my soul

But really, my soul is just on parole

Free for now as long I behave

But this sin is something that I will always crave

Just looking for some happiness to hold

But I come to find this happiness is fools gold

Just leaving me empty handed

Just don’t know if I can do all that you commanded

Please, Lord, just help me make this right

Then, my soul is yours to smite
