poem – Kate Cornwell: Stories of my life

Believe My Sins

Holy does relieve But to what cost to my soul Freedom everlasts

Music plays loudly As singers rhyme their praises Forgiving lyrics

No word was the same As the life you were given Backing down for love

Holding faith inside Waiting forever for love Never questioning

Sadness isolates Never asking when you came Question unanswered

Always try winning Before you come back for more Don’t fall on your ass

While my friends were out Only wanting to belong Don’t ask me questions

See the trees for green Nighttime for brilliant stars Neverending peace

I wanted to stay But you pushed me out the door I never asked why

Dangerous questions While the others did not ask Others flew by night
