Momentum

Sit, Listen

Now that i'm in this position

To tell you a story of a mission

I expect respect equally between our division

I stole love from the blind and pretend I'm an angel

These cuffs are my bind from the guilt and I dangle

I hang from the ground, biding death, will i go up or down?

At least hear me, father before the time comes around.

I'm a bullied-become bully, I love when I hate, I hate when loves present

Don't expect you to believe, I am a man-made liar, Excuse not descendant.

I blame my parents for what I've became, It was all me

When Xavier came around, It was all on me

When my peers cursed my name, It was all on me

And when I became my own nightmare, It was all on me.

When I appear at the gates, scream "It was all on me"

I pretend to love when i cheat, I didn't accept guilt.

Didn't think my own future, Didn't expect what I built.

Expecting forgiveness that I knew wasn't deserved.

I'm sorry, mother, father, For I am the hurt who hurt.

Mama if you're hearing, I love you to pieces.

Father, when I saw you last, my heart was in pieces.

The world expecting me to hate, but they don't know the true story

I love you, father, I write this seeking forgiveness, not glory.

Scars don't heal through time, they don't keep secrets

Peace through my mind when I'm become a war-seeker.

Physically a castle, But emotionally I'm left open.

I could be broke down, but outside I seem like its okay.

Ask God for forgiveness
Ask my family for forgiveness

Ask my peers for forgiveness

Ask YOU for forgiveness

In all my time I didn't see myself in the mirror

All i saw was an image i wish i could make clearer.

Wow, wickedly, outstanding and wise words spoken to help heal the spirit and the soul. Let alone mind and heart. To find internal peace for you and hopefully heal wounds for them, in small way.

F**k me. Brilliant. Just....Brilliant. You almost made me misty in public. You owe me a cookie. And a cup of tea.

[Avinash]

I notice a very strong urge for redemption in this piece.

All of us make mistakes.

[Celie Rose]

Enjoyed reading your poem.
Making amends to all you have hurt
is so important but you must also
find it in your heart to forgive yourself.
"Ask God for forgiveness
Ask my family for forgiveness
Ask my peers for forgiveness."
Nicely written and well expressed.
Keep up he good work!
