It seems I can't find freedom from doubt
This clings and impedes some of my clout
The rest is at war with a regime of self-pity

Frets with an obscene gesture of disrespect
As if I hadn't shown simplicity to direct
It to safety instead like myself it stayed to adapt
To the only opinion that weans on the fact
That I'm trapped......
