Yet I Stayed

I wanted to run, yet I stayed
It felt like a fraud from which I wanted to be deceived
A bit of mess added to my chaos
From which I didn’t mean to escape
Drunk from the fear and yet I stayed
It felt like a lie that I wished to believe
A bit of disorder in an already unstable universe
In which I chose to grow
I wanted to run and yet I stayed
It felt like the abyss in which I desired to fall
A bit of dark to light up my sins…
