precious indiscretions

I stand committed to all my offenses
executed with complete conviction.

I won’t plead insanity for the desire that drove me
to all my precious indiscretions.

If I’m meant to felt shame,
it’s only because I didn’t defend myself sooner.

If my discretion is in question,
consider all the evidence presented.

I lie and cheat and steal
to save my precious skin,
When provoked I’ll do worse than bite
and I promise to do it again.

I’m guilty of all I’ve ever done
in defense of my stolen tenderness.
