Ashen Valentine

Real life is coming out from hiding from yourself
but how much can be revealed of anyone
no one could quite contain it all
doesn’t it take the same amount of courage
to oppose reason as it does to express it
something further distinguishes
one (Ash) Wednesday from another
you still walk home with the mark of Cain
on your forehead wrecking your anonymity
you still feel like your life is like
being on probation for life
like you just destroyed your perfect
reputation with yourself
indulged your weakness for attention
felt the moment life entered you
and your death running to meet it
