House of forgiveness

In the house of forgiveness

unbridled mind does not quiet

thinks more to need seeking

of more forgiveness.

Mind over matter?

Mind over mind?

Unbridled mind seeks my ruin

as pleading words seek mercy

and mental self imagery

prostrates before the throne

mind pulls out of its reserve

sins it will commit

sins it prays I will be

alive and in good health

to commit and revel in

and says,

“See. Yes, I wish for forgiveness but am I not weak? Seeking remorse from a human? Come on! Thou art bigger and more gracious. “

Is the only way to be sin free

immaculate conception?

Would I then be holy and without mortal stain?

If that’s the only way,

mind resigns myself to sinful existence.
