I am an artist bound only for the poet's glory....But only achieve half of the success that my dreams aspire to find, And to what do the whispers tell me of this failure...To what end to they haunt my nightmares...my eternal dark dreams...

I tell you I’m innocent, and this crime is of the utmost malformation and malevolence.

Yes I tell you I feel no woe, so what emotions, what words do you wish of me to sow?

Oh yes the truth I speak remains impervious and your false accusations are the ones of the impetuous

You think you know of my guilt, but the imperishable truth is I have no guilt to be felt.

Indeed my Innocence is undeniable but still you show great incredulous.

The authority walks out into the night, I can't help but grin because I know that the truth is actually a lie...
