Don’t indulge me…
You are fools gold coated in bronze
Layers of lies
Peeling off like roasted flesh
Exposing vulnerabilities
Liberating me from myself
Comradery through misery
It’s all temporary
Until I waste away in my own filth
Love begets lust
Hate begets loathing
Don’t indulge me…
I have no stories to tell
No philosophies
Just a fool among Kings
Perhaps this is one sided
Where only I favor from your company
Guiding me
For I am hopelessly lost
Trying to find a way alone
With my own worst enemy
Don’t indulge me…

I love the motif and theme of this piece. The lines "You are fools gold coated in bronze / Layers of lies / Peeling off like roasted flesh / Exposing vulnerabilities / Liberating me from myself" really stuck with me. I love the way you organize and present your ideas. Excellent work!
Very well done. Maybe you'll get there with one more glass! Excellent style.
