Because I am

Yet

Live as I am not
Within the conflict of separation
Misconceptions
Driven deep within
The darkness of misdirection
Innocent misdirection

Yet

Live in denial of my actions
And choices
All the time crying
Bound by selfish thoughts
Destructive memories
Faulty translations

Because I am

Yet

Live as I am not
