Cognitive dissonance
Of myself in another
This blood is not just mine
I am your brother
That is my fault
I demand my blame
As judge, jury, prosecutor
Please shower me in shame
I must reconcile for all I have done
For I must be better
In times to come
I shall amend for all I have done
Accept and better myself
By the blood in my veins
By the blood in yours
This bond of blood
Has betrayed you
These years of agony
Such tragedy
By the blood in my veins
You do not need to forgive me
I have stripped my biases
My choices were wrong
Emotionally, mentally
I was not who I need to be
Nothing can take back
Two decades of tragedy
But I couldn't fathom
I was stuck in my own dichotomy
How can I destroy the ones I love?
I can love
Execution
Such love, such hate
It reached out of me, to my family
He's guilty
That does not make it alright
That will never make it alright
This apology requires no acceptance
You do not need to forgive me
By the blood in my veins
By the blood in yours
This bond of blood
Has betrayed you
These years of agony
Such tragedy
By the blood in my veins
You do not need to forgive me.
And I accept my flaws
As a human, as a brother, as blood
I am bound to be better
