Close my eyes right before the impactStray bullets masked as fake applause Through all the pain my soul still intactFuck being perfect I embrace my flaws Takes more imagination than I possessTo pretend their intentions aren’t cruelInstead of knowing they made...

I like how you repeat that couplet at the end. It wraps everything up in a neat package. This is a really cool piece with sociopathic undertones which catch my attention. I love an unreliable narrator. I love an evil genius. A lot of women do… the bad boy syndrome. Boys grow up to be devils. And girls… well, sometimes we invite them in.

Nice piece!

  A man’s (in this case) internal struggle in such a situation has always intrigued me, yet is beyond alien to me at the same time.
  I love exploring my uncharted territory.
