Forgive me

In front of yawning mouths
I'll surrender;
Holding a candle
Before the shrine of forgiveness;
Waiting for that meager light to snuff out
So then I can leave,
With the last of my fire
Submitted to a parody.

I'll reap rewards of statistical failure
And ignite to the rhythm,
Like a puppet for the people.
Your majesty,
I'll perform
To your tunes
That don't match my song
But I'll burn and break
To fit the mould.

So accept the apology
Of being my soul;
'Cause I know
I forgot
That this body is not my own.
