Staggering
Today, i found myself.
it was not a pretty picture!
i sat my religious books upon there self,
then stared blankly at my gesture.
i saw for but one moment,
terrified little me.
Screaming curses into a mirror
and then i began to flee.
Today, i found my soul,
it was not an easy task.
I sat myself down upon the floor,
then drank heavily from a tainted flask.
I heard for but a second,
terrified little me.
Screaming insainities into a blow horn
and then i smiled with satanic glee!
Today, i found myself
and now i know what needs change.
I sat down my careless selfish heart,
then over my head it began to rain.
I smelt the sweetness,
from a single drop or two.
I thought it mere neatness,
when i looked down and saw misted dew.
Today, i found myself,
and now i feel at peace.
Sad is this heart of mine.
No longer straight white fleece.
Tattered by age that shows not on my face,
i walk then stager, willingly leaving this place.
