I AM… SORRY
♥️♥️I don’t understand anything that is not LOVE… anymore… that is only because I work hard to study, rehearse and display it. For the The Masks We Wear Challenge ♥️♥️
I see it now
Under the staff
The man ☀️
~
The sheep’s song
The son who ran away
They were all caged by our mouths
The tongue
The throng
~
It was haste and loud
We skip the thoughts of the one
Who we could
Run
Safe
From ☀️
~
Burdened
This leaves me
Hur-ting
Free from
Delusion
I can’t make haste. to save. a sister. from a gun.
I’m hold-ing
Hop-ing
That i’ll deliver them
…
Dark force that is lead-ing
Me
…
I am cry-ing, to be seen
Sending a message
Open me
So I decree
Devotionals and energies
To set you free from my tongue
From all of us
Who were wrong ☀️
~
Interpretations failed
Through lazy trails
And coercion
But we are try-ing to pave the way
To make a feast instead of greed
Without a mask
Vipers and accessories
~
We failed you
The need to set you free
So only in one instance were we wrong
We were in deep
Demonology
And that is without analogy
Without a safe space there is no theology
So I’m sad
For you
For me
For all the weakness
When we speak
Let this page
leap ☀️
*wait…
You’re a diamond we wish to save
But we struggle inside this cage
This bo-dy given in faith
We surrender this today
…
But we will bow
Give us the grace
We wish to hold you in
Latter day
But ☀️
…
This wall is losing every case
Never
Fake
Love
I’m giving
Free of charge
~
So it grates
Denigrate us
Hug it out
I’ll make this quick
~
Burn the light instead
Of this
I’m sorry…

This is one very emotional poem that will make even the devil rethink his actions.
You'll be rich at the end of the month with all the competitions you will do well in, this one is no exception (in my mind, but I am not a judge). You always amaze me with how you can put so much emotion and feeling into words. In this case, the words are few, but the sentiment is so powerful. Excellent work, my friend.
Oh my goodness, this hit me so hard. Your poem was so poignant, profound, emotional, and extremely powerful. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
Another moving poem. You give words to feelings that are hard to express. A diamond we wish to save/we struggle inside this cage...Beautiful work, Caitlin❤️
So many lines that stand out yet this one to me said something that everyone can relate too: ‘ I am cry-ing, to be seen’ This speaks volumes of even though people see us we still unseen. I always enjoy reading your work, however this one rises above all. You outdid yourself.
That was intense, Caitlin. And demonology without analogy.......without a safe space there is no theology..." is my fave line here too. It sums everything up about the scarred human spirit. Very, very well done.
"We were in deep Demonology And that is without analogy Without a safe space there is no theology" That was powerful, Caitlin. I don't know if it's just a metaphor but I once had a friend who got herself into demonology with her sisters and girlfriends (there was six of them) and took her years to get out of that entanglement.
I felt every word Caitlin. This is the most powerful thing of yours I have ever read. "Give us the grace we wish to hold you in...." And "We were in deep Demonology And that is without analogy Without a safe space there is no theology".....WHoever this apology is directed at would be mad to stay angry haha
I like the flow here, there’s almost A sense that thoughts are so heavy and rapid that they interrupt themselves. In one line you’ll set up or prime a feeling, or a point of contention, but it can’t ruminate because there’s more coming. There’s a chaos to sadness I think, so this works really well.
