Epiphany Poem by Samantha Jenks

Well forgive me please nothings as perfect as it seems
Will you forgive me please I’m not everything you’d thought I’d be
So forgive me when lie
It’s not your fault I’ve just been living on my own time
I’ve been living by my own rules
But I’m sure you can understand
When you left me all alone
I gained the ability to lose self control
Some mistakes are hard to break
And I find myself doing it again
Living life like it’ll never end
But still believe and pardon me
I’m the villain under sheets
So it may take centuries you see
To let go of this monster you thought you never see
Maybe you’ll have to accept the fact there’s parts of me that will never be the same
Spare me of what you have to say
So what if I’ve become the light to my own flame
Maybe I need to lose control
To see what I have to gain
Maybe I need to die….
To remember what it was like to be alive
And it makes me wonder
Would you hear me if I screamed
