I used to keep secrets confident, no matter how righteously exposing.
Suffocating in drama that yanks me by the collar of my clothing.
My ears drown in gossip from Christians well versed in God's omnipresence.
They sell false narratives and natter while I grasp for holy acquiescence.
It grows more and more ironic, looking at higher ranks in the conferred.
Traumas discounted by corrupted governments who empower predators in a church.
I go to a "safe" space to praise with community and sing my psalm.
......
Like the premonsoon rains,
You came in, unannounced.
Like the front page of a newspaper, you were filled with casualties and bad news.
Yet I wanted to read every single word of it, knowing it would hurt.
Like the ruins of a place were your words.
Beautiful, but decaying in hindsight.
Like a favourite song played on loop only to hate it later on, was my presence to you.
