With an open confession
Monday,24th May 2021

I open the day with prayer
bow down and offer
my sincere gratitude for the birth
and allowing to have peaceful breath

not all the days
shall stay with the pure means
but somehow I pull on
as the heart agrees upon

I don't intend to commit a crime
but sometimes
the thoughts divert
and subvert my conscience

things happen not as planned
the curse remains even if not wanted
my conscience revolts
and forces me to bolt inside the room

this has happened often
and each time I pray and bow down
seek purification of the soul
and urge receiving a call

it gives me a peace
and some guilt is easing out
making me feel relieved
I have always believed in this kind of open confession
