Shattered Moral Compass

I uncover my blackened face My frail hands trembling As I fervently seek the remedy I have nothing except morsels of supplication And a thousand restless nights to my name Immense is my discomfort Colossal is my distress And tonight I finally surrender I kneel, and I submit As a debased lowly man brought to his knees Pleading, begging, wailing for you to Immaculate the sins that blot my innocence, Conceal all atrocities I committed behind closed doors Screaming, beseeching, weeping for you to Nullify all transgressions that brought forth calamity, Abolish my burden of generational tribulation Shrieking, seething, grieving for you to Pardon my former delinquencies that repelled hope Become the needle of my shattered moral compass Through your remembrance, I inch myself closer to you Hopelessly clinging myself To your magnificence Professing your unity Out of fear of further chastisement, Since I cannot endure Any further separation
