I Forgive Me

I Forgive Me

Forgive me for drowning you in torrents of sorrow

Forgive me for depriving you of your right to speak 

Forgive me for unlocking the bolts on my heart to the mean who slaughtered your spirit

I am guilty 

Guilty ‎of wounding you with swords of criticism

Guilty of ‎scarring your beauty with thoughts of disesteem 

‎In your shelter I welcomed dictators and thieves

Your sanctuary I contaminated ‎with uncaring beings

Forgive me for not loving you truly

Forgive me for gambling with your purpose on earth

Deaf to your call

Perhaps a fool I was

It sure felt that way

Under waterfalls of healing

I redeem me

I forgive me.

self-loathing calls for self-forgiveness...

we are our own worst critics...

another really deeply profound write from you.
