Confession concession

By Deathkitten

When you're raking truth across the yard,
you'll tend to stumble over a stick or stone
So, here's my confession
I'm selling until I run out, in this concession
from where I stand
I know not of boundaries
nor cut & dry lands
Special gifts astound me
Pleasing is never easy, when you walk my way
Moods are interchangable
I'm the night before & after day
My skin has thickened almost to a leather
Scars are visible from debris of life
Thoughts; untouchable
Untraceable; they may erupt
Heart's beaten into a sludge
Ego's bruised from spiteful words
Self-esteem's tired & under-weigh
Aggression squirms beneath the surface
Depression meets & merges
They think they know
but what's exact?
I'd tell you more
and I might do that
at the next confession
from my concession
where I stand

    And the raking continues, and the dead leaves gathered, for the buring perhaps, cheers DK!

    One day, when all my dead leaves are done falling, and all of them are gathered into a giant pile...that is when I will set them on fire.
