I’m Aware

-I’m Aware-
by Keaton Foster



There
Where
I don’t know
But I’ll show
You can refuse
See
Or be blind
I care not
I’m selfish
This is
Has always been
About preservation
Mine
These words
Deity’s unto themselves
Immortal diatribe
Written by
Live by
A mortal animal
Oh how I’ve paid
Lost it all
Time and again
Love for me
Impossible
Happiness
Always in a state shambles
I destroy everything good
Because of everything bad
It’s just my way
My twisted inner darkness
I can fake with the saints
But inside I’m all sinner
All truth and madness
I’m not proud
But be assured
With absolute clarity
I’m aware
I know why
My defined role
There can be
And will be
Nothing less
To know thyself
To understand
And embrace
To face every demon
Standing up to darkness
For me is in the cards
I may lose the war
But I fight each battle
With my heart
My mind
And my soul
I’m aware
At times
I’d say it’s not fair
That the father
Has truly doomed me
But to tell you the truth
I know those are lies
Perpetrated by me alone
God, in a weird way
Has come to save me
To redeem me
Through my words
And my ability to know
What other won’t
I’m aware
At the price of everything
And
As long as these worlds flow
As long as I can express
What most won’t
Then I’ll be content
Paying what is meant…
