This is my last trial
Abundance of faith,
Journey long taken in search of my own truth
A turbulence of all human emotion noted
All of what I have forsaken or has forsaken me
The lies, the alibis, the brutal truths and all the scarlet letters I wore
For your shallow Gods
My voice no longer hum or sings
Silence as my faithful partner
Solitude as my love bed
My skin witnessed by the intolerant sun
I gave myself to you
A sacrifice upon words I uttered
My only religion
Of blood & salt
That I feed my soul
My ink endless awaiting to pour
My time is still yet to come
Where knees broken now
Will heal & kneel again to pray
