I’m just so
Fucking disgusted
By the man whose views
Have grown jaded
Since feeling deep down
Disappointed
Through such very beliefs
He held dear

With his actions now
Beyond hope
That startle those close
Merely baffled
After taking their turn
Seeing hatred
Spew from these wells
Getting filled

Over years spent cold
Mostly running
Or hiding at home
Where things festered
Not worried for work
But salvation
Lost in one day
Between screams

While yelling towards God
Nearly gone
Never hearing these calls
Amid tirades
Always absent there
Despite begging
How faith might prove
Demons wrong

Yet knowing someplace
Beauty lives
If flourishing well
Outside torment
Gathering still
Into clusters
Until darkness claims
Every word

When forgiveness
Hardly seems real
Despite few attempts
Seeking penance
Among verses strewn
Like confessions
Across each line
Left behind.
