Forgiveness denied

What is forgiveness, truly defined?

A chance to prove one\'s worth aligned

A plea to be forgiven, free from sin\'s stain

Without judgement\'s weight, repeated in vein

 

The purest of hearts, with intention true

Seeks forgiveness, and a chance to anew

To right the wrong, and mend the tear

And prove themselves, without a speck of fear

 

But forgiveness isn\'t always given free

A rejection harsh, without a second see

Leaves the heart bleeding, with a deep despair

A longing for a second chance, to show they care

 

What is forgiveness, when the heart is pure and bright? 

When pleas for mercy, are met with endless night?

Is it not a chance, to prove one\'s worth anew?

A second chance, to rise, and see forgiveness shine through?
