Communication 87

born to be broken

there’s nothing on the outside for you,
there’s nothing left within
inside the shadow of ‘St Christopher’
you’ll pay for every sin
blessings, you’ve wasted
no hope of being restored
a cross, a broken crucifix 
no forgiveness from your lord
your faith has slipped, sipped
away with every swallow,
cheap booze and liquor,
nicotine,
your craving left you hollow,
a
cold
shadow,
a spectre
of the man you thought you were
reconcile now and forgive
don’t be afraid to break,
we are nothing without
our mistakes,
it’s impossible to feel alive
without acknowledging
the confusion inside,
we design our future unknowingly
by building on the past,
each foundation laid
is a foundation built to last,
a
warm
bright
spirit
the man you always were
navigating freely
through a life that is merely
a series of
extravagant events,
confessions and connections
a catastrophe,  
at best,
pick a path
see it through
there’s still time
to define
what you thought
you always knew
