yesterday

i made a choice
concious or not
it was a choice
mistake?
nah
but possible
i suppose

yesterday

i learned
that
secrets are not
what they
seem
layers of onions
peeling back each one
carefully!
don't rip it
secrets are fragile

yesterday

stumbling upon
the multiple
prescious
layers of our world
don't let them know
you know

yesterday

i wondered
why is it
that the damned
ignore the preachers
happy in their ruin
while the rest of us
flock to them
thirsty for
their carefully worded
salvation?

today

i know it's
all B.S

The author's comments:
The format of this poem is supposed to be the first two stanzas and then across the page starting on the same line as the first stanza, the third comes in and the fourth follows suit. Then the last part comes in the middle. I kinda made up my own kind of poem format. Got another one like it:Once. Please vote and comment.
