Write a story about someone's fall from grace.
confession
“look at us” she said i’ve heard it countless times unbelievable truths can’t spill out of the confines of rhymes
“our reputation precedes us” and that at least is true because who would think the good girls could have ever done this to you?
but i am sick of relying upon my carefully crafted good name doesn’t the world have the right to know i share in the sinners’ shame?
with a sickening smile and a flick of my hair your life has been ruined it’ll never be fair
selfish, perhaps we are but it would always come to pass as will the chiming of the bells the shattering of the glass
i’ll lay roses upon your grave the same one i lowered you into why do i always do the dirty work? spit out what they couldn’t chew
i’m so close to breaking now my persona is quietly cracking let me guess, another coup? our crimes continue stacking
“you’ve done nothing wrong” of course, thanks to my good name everyone else is always the villain but in truth, we’re one and the same
because despite my guilt i won’t alter the course of fate i’ll cut off another girl’s head i’ll deliver it on a plate
but this time my blood will spill over the edges of the table i’ll take responsibility for this murder i’ve gotten quite unstable
so drag me to my prison cell swing me from the gallows let hoards of my victims watch as my life, my face sallows
let me say goodbye to those who knelt to crown me i won’t be here to answer your cries i fear this act may drown me.
