Societal Norms

Posted on
Religious society set standards 
So/high/that/we
fill ourselves with anxiety 
trying to maintain an appearance of piety 
in front of fellow Christians who privately 
struggle with a variety 
of other vices. 


Sometimes this mask gets heavy when I’m
tired of pretending 
I just didn’t have thoughts of 
bending 
her over and...
Weary from the guilt that sets in from being a fallen man. 
It’s so frustrating trying to live a good life. 
The Bible says the husband of one wife, 
a man that’s slow to anger and strife. 
You know the kind of man that can die to sin daily. 
I’m tired.
