Been to places no one goes
Hate the things that I have done
As I drop the smoking gun

I've been thrown in
Had no control
My hope is thin
Can't reach my goal

In my own jail
Against the bars
All alone; no one to call
Just seemed to flail
I tried so hard
Now I'm staring at these dirty walls.

Sitting on this barren floor
I think I hear an open door
The light floods in, the warden shouts
I can't believe you bailed me out.

Dirty walls

Seen some things that no one knows
Been to places no one goes
Hate the things that I have done
As I drop the smoking gun

I've been thrown in
Had no control
My hope is thin
Can't reach my goal

In my own jail
Against the bars
All alone; no one to call
Just seemed to flail
I tried so hard
Now I'm staring at these dirty walls.

Sitting on this barren floor
I think I hear an open door
The light floods in, the warden shouts
I can't believe you bailed me out.

This one has some background to it. I was surfing the net, looking for photography stuff, when I hit this site, claiming to be informitive to night time photography. Well, It's got porn all over it, and as I'm scrolling over pictures, closing my eyes, only to find more, I felt like secretly I wanted more. And it made me sick. I hated myself for that feeling. Now, I know it's only natural for a guy to want those things, but in my convictions, it's also wrong to go after those things.
I'm okay now, but it's still kinda painful.

Denying of ones own instincts is wrong.
Nice write.
