Favorite Quote:
“the greatest pleasure is giving pleasure”


I am in a very strange place 

The praise of the people goes down with the sun

There is no prayer whispered here 

One remains concealed, the other naked

Is your sin aspirational or apathetic? 


I am in a stranger place 

You died for me yet you know nothing of me

I’m obliged to you 

You couldn’t have created me for any other reason 


I am in the strangest place 

I inhaled, I exhaled 

Your breath washed over me and my offenses blew away in the wind 

But you’ll breeze over another, much sooner than we would expect

one night i had been thinking about the concept of a confessional in a church and i found it pretty funny, so i decided to write this poem.
