Sister Mary waits and cries
while daintily holding
her holy book of lies
she thinks back
to the time when she said
"Father keep me always."
even when i sin in my bed.
her heart is rotten
her sin uncured
she fears her sisters have forgotten
the faith she's previously procured.
Sister Mary waits and cries
while daintily holding
for her holy book of lies
She tries to snap out of it
for she is next in line
a confessional will surely cure this
insatiable urge she has from time to time.
Finally, she is next,
and her heart skips a beat,
she routinely prays to the Father
that it is her soul he should keep.
"What have you done?" the gruff voice behind the mesh asks.
she instantly begins
to list her sins (otherwise known as vast)
"Dear Pastor," she begins
"I have sinned
i have lied
i have even stolen,
yet i have not cried
i have tainted my bed
and stained my heart.
but is is from this very congregation,
that i wish to part.
you see, beyond this black suit i am forced to wear
i am a skinny little thing
with pretty blonde hair.
You may wonder why
it is your time i am wasting
but please let me explain to you
why i am being so hasty.
For six years now, i have dwelled in these holy walls
i have witnessed unspeakable sin
and one too many spiritual falls.
But you don't unstandstand,
this is all a stupid game,
i have have been fooled beyond reprimand,
and offer the following statements
with no shame.
I don't believe in a God above,
I don't believe in unconditional love.
i don't believe in the stories of old
i don't believe in all of those morals you told.
i can't believe i'm living this way.
but please Father,
it is my for my soul
i beg of you not to pray.
See, i have found the way of life,
the cure to sprititual strife.
It is to enjoy,
and not be held down by these invisible rules
you continue to deploy.
so you see Father,
i suppose this isn't a confessional at all
but if you feel bad for me,
i suppose it is your invisible God you can call.
and with this,
Sister Mary leaves the room
where she used to deem her future gloom.
She runs out of the church
feeling nothing less than flushed
and tries desperately to savor,
her beautiful rush.
She rips off black prison uniform
and lets down her hair,
telling herself
that the guilt isn't really there.
Sister Mary makes her way down the the street
where she barely has time to place down her feet,
barely has time because she has just been struck by a car
and in the emergency vehicle
is declared dead thus far.
Sister Mary stands and cries
and heartily wishing
for her holy book of lies.
She tries to snap out of it
for she is next in line
she reasons perhaps He should forgive her.
Just one more time.
Now Sister Mary cries is hell,
forever labeled,
"Sister Mary the Sinner."
and only wishes
it is her story she could tell.
