[most-ment]

Vigilante

At first, I thought I was doing the right thing.

The police were inadequate and the government wasn't listening.

▪️

At the time, I assumed that I was making things better.

Justice! I thought I was the dispenser.

▪️

I thought wrong.

▪️

Taking the laws in my hands,

Only coated them in red.

Justice was something I didn't understand,

Despite all the virtuous things I said.

▪️

I truly thought I was doing the right thing,

But for any one battle I lost, more innocent people were dying.

▪️

At some point, I wanted it to end,

But I could do nothing to erase the bounty on my head.

▪️

Hated by the criminals,

Scorned by the popo.

My problems became anything but trivial

And I tried to hear them solo.

▪️

I couldn't though,

Instead I put in danger anyone I brought close.

▪️

Lost I was.

It was the right thing at first.

It was the right thing I thought.

So much fighting for what?

▪️

Lost in distrust.

I was losing too much.

I was losing my touch.

It was grueling to watch.

▪️

How much more to experience?

▪️

Doing the right thing the wrong way.

I thought a saviour was something I could be.

In trying to shield you from the sun, I only brought harsher rays.

I'm not an hero but a vigilante.
