In the end
I saw myself
As others saw me.
A middle-aged man turning older
An older man becoming ancient
Who had refused to obey the promises of Faith
Demanded by the Sisters of St. Mary.
I never kneel before the altar
I never ask for forgiveness for my sins
Only saying to the Bible’s God
I am a mere mortal.
Mo More
No less
I’m just a mere mortal____
Never to be a God.
