A Poem by August
"

your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing

"
I want to throw my phone in fire
I wish to be free of this despair
Is this how it feels to be the worst of sinners?
could i be excused, as i am nothing but my ancestors?
I just showered yet i can still see the filth
How do i clean myself off this guilt?
Unchecked to-do lists,
I want to peel my skin
My mouth still hurts from when it touched my fist
I feel like a 50 year old in a teen's skin

I want to cry and i want to live
I want to die but i want to live
Welcome to my hometown, this is it
