Misdeed

Had I the power to trust myself
Every emotion and thought
Had they not been stained with doubt
The hesitation that demolishes
Tainting the steps I take forward
The approaching to finally break out

If I could love the one reflected
I wouldn't have to excuse my breaths
The proof of my crime towards our universe
The evidence of my vicious existence
Every footprint turns to a misdeed
Towards believing I seem to be averse

I'm trying to understand the difference
Between yours and my own view
To embrace the change of self-esteem
Leave the label of failure behind
Start to walk upright, environed by the air
And fully realize; there's nothing to redeem
