Church Pews
Her name was chaos,
A woman so dangerous
She wasn’t the name
Of a hurricane,
But how you described it
She was the adjective
Of beautiful destruction.
She was born from the ashes
Of forgotten riots and unmarked caskets
Raised in the dark streets of desperation
Her hunger for change a raw starvation
The sameness of the world lead
To unique thoughts no one ever said
Her raw passion a whirlwind
Her name was Chaos
A collection of scattered thoughts
That when others saw inside her head
Couldn’t help but be captivated.
She was the beautiful kind of broken
The kind you can’t help falling in love with.
But what about her
Thoughts scattered
No train of thought, she is lost
A sheep cut from the curd
Holding on the others words
Since she can’t speak coherently
She feels the emptiness
Inside of her destruction
She wants to change
So she searches for faith
Falls to her knees
With tears dripping
Claws at the pews
To anchor her to you
Clings to her bible for a cure
Praying for you to uplift her curse
And that’s when you held her
Pulled her to your chest and whispered the words “Daughter,
Do not fear your own head,
For I have put those thoughts in it,
It will hurt
You live in an imperfect word
But that’s why I gave you the power to think
Differently
To lead others into a brighter life that separates them from society
You are made a misfit to normality”
So there she was, Chaos
Kneeling at a wooden cross
Turning her destruction from those who cared about her
To the Limitations and expectations
And created a trail
Through the evil
Chaos found peace
All she had to do was believe
She was who God made her to be
And she was perfect that way too
So what is God trying to say
To you?
