Penance

Monstrous and ugly

All black and dirty

That’s who I am

That’s who I was

Delusion and fantasy

Paradise, all but a fallacy

Love, what does that even mean

I know what, as I never knew

A common man with uncommon deeds

Who forgives and who forlives

I am a mother, I gave a birth

To my destiny and my dirt

You kissed the sand, and you licked the sweat

You thought I was more but I was always less
