Instinct

Am I allowed my own voice? (Passing judgement, taking for granted) Did I ever really have a choice? (Passing judgement lurking in the shadows) My mind’s in the ICU Another paranoid victim of you In this dark world that you beckoned me into I feel the tightness in my chest, opinions repressed Did you throw away that Instinct? Or did you amplify the mistakes? The sun sets on the horizon and rises on another You’ll still admonish the blameless and wear a badge of honour You’ve wrapped yourself in a bubble, reliant on the word Nеw life exposes thе frailty, frenetic and absurd I’ll never take for granted this privilege I’ve always learned my lessons the hard way Did you throw away that Instinct? Or did you amplify the mistakes?
