sins

do you ever wish your body just wasn't your body?

that every cell

of every square inch

of every limb

over your entire body

was completely different

that every cell

of every square inch

of every limb?

 

do you ever wish that nothing about you was you?

and you know that if your mother knew of your sins

she would cry

and there's nothing you can do

to stop those tears

you know

your mother would cry

if she knew of all your sins?

 

do you ever wonder if your friends would be your friends if they knew

the awful horrible things about you?

do you ever wonder if they'd stop calling

if they knew all the times you swore

you pleasured yourself

you killed them in your mind

you let something awful

horrible

terrible happen

that would make them never

ever

want to see you again?

 

do you ever wonder if God gave up on you?

do you know He always gives people second chances?

and thirds?

and fourths?

and fifteen thousands?

but do you wonder if after five-trillion-

four-hundred-billion-

-two-hundred-thirty-seven-million-

three-hundred-thousand-

and-eight

He finally said

"You know, I gave this guy

(or girl)

plenty of chances,

but they messed it up five-trillion-

four-hundred-billion-

-two-hundred-thirty-seven-million-

three-hundred-thousand-

and-eight

times

and that's just one too many."

 

 

 

i do.
