Faith

I never really believed
in the importance of faith
until
I thought about how often people
divulge their secrets
to one another.

We think it’s so interesting.

After a few beers, 
we’re willing, 
and eager, 
to let whatever shame,
trouble, or madness we have
just spill from our lips
for our loyal friends to consume
and inventory.

We take our lovers, companions, 
friends, acquaintances,
whoever’s around,
and we expose them
to what awful things
our hearts are made of.

We’ve totally 
commodofied our troubles.
Trading them 

amongst each other
in some competition
to see who has the most 
interesting
stories.

So many 
know so much 
about us,
and it’s all so 
damning.

And every time
we share with someone
our darkness,
we take such great faith
that they will never use it
against us.
