XXVII. Song of Forgiveness
Write a note
Write a song
Song that speaks of nothing wrong
Song of praise echos through the church
Church of liars
Church of saints
Saints with perfect lives
Saints whose smiles shine with false truths
Truths, grins, platitudes
Truths that sting
Sting like my sharpest weapons
Sting like salt on my tearstained face
Face yourself
Face your sin
Sin of children
Sin of you
You in a fire choking on smoke
You wield your tongue like a knife
Knife leaving no scars on the skin
Knife murdering the spirit and mind
Mind yourself in public
Mind you must hide to keep up the charade
Charade of strength
Charade of no struggle
Struggle to make sense
Struggle to change
Change like a diamond
Change like a stone
Stone crushed beneath fire
Stone crushed like my mind
Mind sick and silent
Mind longing for death
Death a shriveled butterfly wing
Death to me was the end
End of sorrow
End of shame
Shame a cold wet snake
Shame guilt and heartache
Heartache such a cliché
Heartache rears its ugly face
Face the world and smile wide
Face the world while you have to hide
Hide the wounds that leave no marks
Hide and fight
Fight to survive
Fight for forgiveness
Forgiveness and love
Forgiveness and tears
Glimmers of hope and healing
Healing...
Tears
