Confession

Confession

A Poem by Chris

Bless me father for I have sinned.

For her life I did rescind.

 

In my secret life I am a fighter.

In my secret life I am a writer.

I wear a mask to seem kinder,

Still doing as I please despite her.

 

She said I would never amount to anything.

She said I would sit back and do nothing.

"I have proven I can do something,

And in my world I am king.

 

I won't listen to what you have to say,

I won't let your plauge stay,

By the end you better pray,

I'll send you to your god today!"

 

I told her I would be back.

I told her I would attack.

I stood there letting the rage stack.

"Now a life is what you'll lack.

 

Little did you know I can fight.

Little did you know I can write.

Both talents kept from your sight,

That changes tonight."

 

Her death was pure poetry.

Her death let me be free.

In her blood I wrote for all to see,

"You revealed the killer in me."

So I sat back and thought, has a murderer ever confessed his actions to a church?
What would that sound like? Well this wasmy conclusion.

Wow, Chris you are so amazing... I mean you made murder sound IDK even know what words to use. I can say GREAT imagery, WONDERFUL emotion. Had me sitting on the edge of my seat. Even had my heart beating faster because somehow I felt I knew who you were speaking of... Kudos Chris xoxo

This was wonderful.
This sounds more like a song,but who the hell cares?
This is sheer genius.
I love how you killed her with writing.
That to me sends a very powerful message.
The last stanza is GENIUS with a Caps Locked G.
Wonderful Job!

I like the repetition of the fighter and the writer, and the last stanza is really good. I like the whole idea of the confession of murder to a priest, or whoever represents the church. It is interesting. Well done!

I found this to be intriguing. The foundation and the wording is flawless and at times it reminded me of my mother O.o [ except for the murdering ] Mostly the second and third stanzas and the lines "Little did you know I can fight. Little did you know I can write. Both talents kept from your sight." One of my favorites =]
