Poem #23: For My Sins

in life •  7 years ago 

For My Sins

After puberty but before confidence, I was a member of
A very conservative Christian youth group. They convinced
Me of many things and I often, teary-eyed, invited Jesus
Into my heart. But the real tears fell
When I felt nothing each time
And I took the message that God didn’t love me.

And now, seventeen or so years later,
I make a deal with the devil,
For right after I started calling myself
A writer, I took up the bottle again.

Not crying for my sins anymore,
I enjoy them these days.
