A Regular Session
By Marlon Hatcher

A regular day,
The Sun was furious,
The Moon had nothing to say
To those who were curious.
I fought with demons,
I traversed foreign lands
And stumbled across this particular region
With dried crimson colored blood, on my hands.
The God who resides here
Asked: what is my purpose?
I trembled with fear
And told her what my worth is.
Worthless, I felt
Despite the words she said,
The blood I shed, I smelt
The fervid lies covered in red.
Click Clack BOOM! I came back
To a safer place,
Begging her to leave my mind intact,
The God of this land, laughed in my face.
Why? Why must I feel this way,
I asked.
She said you wouldn’t like what I say
Either way, remove that pitiful mask.
Tearing this mask from my flesh
Left an ugly scar across my face,
The pink tissue felt fresh
Now there’s no more time to waste.
I cursed those who deserved to be cursed,
I blessed those who consider me one.
If I am cursed, there’s nothing worst
Than being on the receiving end of your gun.
Say goodbye to the ones you love
And the ones you never said it to,
For once I pull this seven pounds of
Tough love, there’s no one who truly loves you.
Except me.
See you again next week.
