Poetry Entry #2 – My Damnation

This poem is titled “My Damnation” and is themed after the seven deadly sins.



Unwavering desires for a woman that is not mine,

Lust leaves my heart burning every night

Endlessly gorging without reason or rhyme,

My gluttony has no end in sight

Wanting more than he deserves,

His greed tears our family apart

Lying here as my family serves,

I am the epitome of sloth and I know it in my heart

My hatred of him runs deeper than the darkest sea,

The wrath I feel deep down will never cease

Nightly prayers for what others have over me,

From this envy there is no release

The sin of pride has never been felt,

For I have never stood on my own I have only knelt
