I'm just a man in a world of thieves,
looking for instant gratification
in the vices they seek.

Some form of vindication,
for the words that we speak.

I'm just a man in a world of liars,
setting the example
that dishonesty is the new raging fire.

This here is but a sample
for what is about to grow higher.

Just a person trying my hardest,
my best to respect you
and justify your reasons at best.

Maybe it's best if I never met you,
even if my skin is the toughest.

Just someone trying to evolve
in a pool so stagnant
and not used to the word resolve.

This is the problem in remnants
trying so hard to solve.
