forgive me for my foolishness!
for wanting more than I have!
have I forgiven myself?

There’s a damn raw little knot of guilt and desire here, and the last question is the one that matters—it turns the plea for forgiveness inward. Three lines, but there’s a whole damn struggle between wanting, regret, and self-forgiveness inside them.
It is that last line that is most important. Indeed a strong question.
Demar, this lands hard. That final question turns the entire struggle inward...we often extend grace to others while judging ourselves without mercy. This spoke deeply to me, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
drop the guilt - and try to take as much as you can digest when life if offering it to you, although do not overstep the mark ...wonderful message.
