Forgiveness For Less

I never read it,

the way it was written

 

I never wrote it,

the way it should read

 

The lines connected,

 were for me to be broken

 

A lesson once ending,

is where I began

 

I spoke out of time,

out of place…out of line

 

I wrote what I saw,

once the future was gone

 

I prided myself,

in a vision self nurtured

 

Asking permission for nothing,

—and forgiveness for less
