Sin
I know that I have sinned once more today.
Adam must have felt this way too before
after he knew that Eve led him astray.
I was tempted, just like Adam today.
I thought I could say no, please stop, it’s wrong.
The mind says no, but the flesh is not strong.
It craves, it wants, it now speeds up the thoughts.
Do it. You know it’s safe, you won’t be caught.
Just two minutes later, the job was done.
Leaving the place, I guessed that that was fun.
But now I feel in me sadness throughout.
Fear, guilt, utter regret living it out.
I am evil. I know it breaks your heart.
But I swear now I’ll make a clean new start.
