ACQUIESCENCE

JOFFY VARIAS

Being sieged by the broken past,

That demands surrender,

How am I going to last,

If I'm no longer a defender?

​

​

Series of memories of atrocity,

That always end up gray.

How can I think freely,

If my mind turned astray?

​

​

I tried to get rid of it,

But it keeps on coming back.

Reminding that I'm a misfit,

Afraid to cast the first attack.

​

​

Overwhelmed by the power of darkness,

Once with eagle eye, now sightless and blind.

A man who used to stand with prowess,

Now on bended knee, restricted and bound.

​

​

Am I afraid to take the salvation,

That will assuage my fear?

Or just afraid of indignation,

That's why I let myself to sear?

 

​

I've decided not to lift my hand,

Filled myself with eternal lies,

I have chosen to be drowned,

And breathing has been my disguise.
