An Empty Vessel
He fills his head with Bible quotes to silence the storm inside An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise You were not wanted You were unplanned You are a nothing You have no stand He bows his head and speaks in tongues to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud hiding in plain sight You were a mistake A thirty minute accident a constant regretful memory who seeks reason to breathe from holy ghosts and devils in red ties the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen You are a mistake You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.
