My Course of Self-Destruction

My course of self-destruction set

I haven't served my sentence yet

But every step I take reminds

My heart and mind of different times

My shuffling feet and dragging gait

Serve to prove my troubled state

As can be seen by every sway

And unsettled stumble along the way

My companion, Guilt, is one to dwell

And I, The Traveler, cannot expel

His terrible grip and just attack

I bear His weight on my sinful back

I have a lifetime to repent

To immerse myself in earned torment

I have an era to descend

Into the misery that is my end
