Genes

Great gamble of genes
A knife to the chest
Drove deeper each time
I’m less than my best

Fear fuels like a drug
Adrenaline rush
My past a stark flaw
I choose to airbrush

Heart pounds in my chest
Racing to the line
I hide what’s at stake
And straighten my spine

If not more I’m less
Than the low I’m from 
I want to not know
Who I have become
