forgive me for I have sinned

put your hands to the sky 
drop to your knees and cry a river of salty tears
scream out into the open air 
scream until your lungs give out 
yell every sinful crime you've committed 
beg for forgiveness 
beg for a second chance 

you're reminded that you've been in this position before
only before it was an act debauchery mixed with a hope for an act of god 
but now it is a full blown plea for mercy and a god like miracle 
both scenarios pleading for god 
and in this moment you remember that you will never find god on your knees 
because god does not exist within the hollow shell of whom ever it may be you are worshipping 
god exists within your own being
