Remorseful Hearts

The impulse of corruption

Naturally flows within my veins

Ambitions of twisted intentions

Though my heart conflicts my brain

The villainous snake of idleness

Slithers addictively beneath my feet

Fueled by durations of boredom

To which in time my sins conceive

Slowly the realization of reality departs

While viable highs of excitement set in

Profitably, I may not be satisfied

Although I'm fulfilled with the rush of adrenaline

Down the tracks of remorseful actions

Aboard the runaway train of crime sprees

The tracks were bound to cross the law

And crash into the cells of concrete dreams

The shame and guilt that accompanies me

Is enough to influence me to a fresh start

My remorse caused me to fail in crime

Cause good criminals do not have hearts

About the Creator

Thomas F

I was shot in the face at point blank range with a double barrel 12 gage during an strong arm robbery that quickly turned into an Attempted Murder. Although I'm missing my right eye and a bullet in my brain. I AM STILL ME & I AM STILL HERE
