Dead Spirit
  They say the stars shine brighter
  When the night is dark;
  But last night there were no stars
  Shining in my soul.
  
  What brought the darkness?
  Why is my soul troubled so?
  That reason has a name,
  The one my heart loves.
  
  She brings me joy
  When we're together;
  But when we're apart,
  My heart suffers.
  
  Three years have I been fake,
  Pretending to be smart and talented;
  Indeed, it is feigned,
  The result of hard work.
  
  I desire true love,
  The fruit of honesty and trust;
  But how can I be honest with Her?
  Will She understand?
  
  I am seen as well-behaved,
  The payment for my behavior;
  But I desire to be corrupted,
  To have a taste of the life of others.
  
  I have no dark vices,
  Neither in liquor nor cannabis;
  But I am aware of my weakness,
  And given the chance I shall fall.
  
  Why must I torture myself?
  I know the life I desire
  Will not bring me true joy;
  Only She can!
