I am

An aftermath of atonement

Burned at the stake

Blackened

Peeling skin

Raw from stoning

At the square

The demons laughed in the crowd

The crows perched at the trees

Waiting for their next meal

Still can't get enough

Of this

Forgiveness

One day

I'll repent

For this pilgrimage of pain

Self-inflicted wounds

Cleanse me of sin

This is me

I've been stripping it all away

How transparent do I need to be

For you to see

That I'm sorry
