Religion

A three syllable word
Consisting of 8 letters
Four vowels
And four constenants

Represents everything that wounds me
A swift jagged knife to the heart
With every twisted command
Being forced down my throat

Tears remain stagnant in my eyes
For I know, it would have been beautiful
If not for the scars embedded into my soul
From the audacious misery it's put me through

Choice
A single syllable word
Consisting of six letters
Three vowels
And three constenants

A match made in heaven
Its prayer; a constant companion to my lips
The Hope that pollutes my mind; constricts my throat
Keeping me sane within this oppressive cage
I'm held captive in
