Redeemed
He says I Am redeemed
from the lies that hop
out of my mouth like
warted toads.
from me lusting after
intertwined legs and
tangled tongues with
clothes smeared onto
the red stained carpet.
from the time I imprinted
my knuckles into my
Mom’s delicate cheek
bones.
From the words that
stab like knives and
cut open old battle
wounds,
that choke like inhaling
second hand cigarette
smoke.
From the unplanned
conception and the
pre meditated murder
of my own blood and
the soul that fits in
the crevice of my hand.
But He says I Am
redeemed.
