fervent prayer
---------------

A sinner I am to myself
indulgent in self defeat
aware of impending guilt
and yet blissfully ignorant

knelt before the ivory God
tears in my reddened eyes
the veins popping in my head
my face is now a blushing red

my hand raised in sorrowful plea
forgive me, my sins, my lord.
in bursts and spurts, it gushes out
I am pure, my sin now purged.

i generally dont write cryptic poetry, but this one turned out like that. Although it is not directly related to abuse, it is related to the after-effects of CSA.
Let me know if you figure out its meaning.

with love,
rax.
