Mercy Of My Own Mind

Mercy will always be

what I need it to be.

Feeling like the sin needs to

be left out in the open,

like a screen door that

has never been shut

and may peace come to me

when I need to release this

mercy onto myself.

Mercy will always be

what I need it to be,

waiting by the door

for a score that will

always be in a war.

Mercy
