Aftermath of the sermon

by Meghan Helmich

It won't stop ringing and leaving no message.
I am a mockery of a woman, feigning control

It's over
It's over
It never began
I needed truth like armageddon to believe
It had to nest in my ears and turn me

I crawl room to room until my palms burn
just to stand tall in the morning.

I am free of bondage
Free to fall off every rooftop I ever walked up to.

Author's Note: This is really different for me. I just had to spit out some swirling thoughts. I guess it should've been a journal entry, really.

It's awesome, so let it be whatever the hell you want it to be.

I think this is great in poetry form (instead of journal entry) sometimes random thoughts make a great poem. The first two lines I often feel like, so it speaks to me. anyway, love this.

I found this interesting, definitely different for you. Great stanzas, though indeed :)

Strong words, strong write! I think this is perfect as is..leaves me much to evaluate in living!
