First Double Post

Welcome to the Agglomeration

Confession

I am a man in a box.
A box of two halves.
A perfect sanctuary
To release the beast within

There is another man.
Another man in the box.
A perfect victim
Bound by secrecy.

There is a slot in the wall
that separates us both.
There is a door in the wall
to keep me inside.

Privacy is no more
all is revealed.
No details left out,
no altered nuance.

No secrets exist,
no stone unturned
By the end of the day
a new day has begun.

A new leaf is turned,
I have a fresh new start.
A burden is lifted,
I finally am freed.

But I was too hopeful.
I was too naive.
How could I think that
I could escape my past?

The things that I've done
don't end with confession.
The things that he's heard
won't give me redemption.

For how could I break
the sacred law.
A sacred law that
I vowed to protect.

They look up to me.
I give them hope.
But how can I live
with myself?

As I leave the building,
the building with the box,
I see a young boy
who says to me: Hello Father.

But I am not a father.
This boy is not my son.
I'm still a man in a box.
But this time, there's no door.

Till next time, may you agglomerate all your unpremeditated contemplations.
