Confession of Truth
May 24, 2016
When we can’t be recognized, everything inside pours out.
The slick thick tar spills from each deceiving mouth.
Over beeswax, we all confess.
We are surrounded by the smell of a place we are supposed to call home...
Furnished rooms,
are left untouched
on second floors.
What was once meant to live there,
is only the root of our problems.
The dark is our shield, and our words are our swords.
We stab each limb until we hit the heart.
