Exceed

Written in 2010

Sin rises
wet, cold, & guilty.
You feel it burning up your skin
like acid.
Each time you speak
your tongue becomes more
paralyzed.
Do you think
your mommy would be proud?
You think she'd be proud
to see you in your condition?
Kid, you're getting eaten alive out there.
You could really
use some help.
Don't fall further.
Don't dig deeper.
Climb up that wall.
Come out on top.
Sin will sink.
Dry and defeated.
