Haley Bennett Instagram – all that burdened
lives in a “righteous” woman
behind a holy mask,
her name “hypocrisy”
I followed along, you see
a treacherous trail of lies
cast in a shadow of shame
on the edge of silence
forever to blame
for all that burdened
a wolf, sheep’s clothing
sharp teeth, never exposing
the stage she set, in his blood she shed, then crying, pointing fingers, chanting, “you’re all sinners”!!
with hands soaked in red
she threw the first stone, spitting
“you are that burdened”!
in vein, i wept
showered in a stoned tidal wave, l, and away my truth was swept
except, when she opened her wicked mouth to speak
half truths, war cries
emerged, the scale of sequoia trees
tall, hypnotic tales
veiled in melody
a mirage, to soften, flights of fancy
the blows, she swung
scathing, stung
all those she loved
she didn’t know how to love,
to be loved
so she became
all that burdened
ive worn too long
the truest of tragedies
brutality, not my reality
skin of the damned,
shed,
like stars from my crown, fallen sky,
scribble it all down
burn it away
all that burdened
all that burdened
all that burdened me.
this is a very important poem I wrote, a vast and deep purge, exploding like blossoms in our wild ancient meadow
i am being guided to make music, if the melodies arise, if, and only if, they appear like a birdsongs at sundown xHB
