Flat-lining My Faith

By Katrina Armour

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

And in a dire situation I turn to you Although this red carpet's all my fault My delusionary world Came to crumble in my hands I can no longer hide There is no more Bible on my desk If Jesus came to collect my sins I could no longer hide behind the cross For I have taken it off the back of our savior And crucified myself My world is in critical condition They can no longer stabilize my heart My blood flow has up and left There's nothing here but skin But I have no people to die for I have two minutes to figure it out Where will I be in three...?
