To whom it may concern.
Sorry seems a sorry little word.
Not big nor grand enough
To convey what should be heard.
I have failed you.
Even though I dreamed that I was kind
Deep inside
A cruel and callous heart I find.
Who created this monster?!
The noone, noone can bear to see?
No pointing finger needed now.
I know the guilty one is me.
No excuses now.
Of nothing to noone, of bruises and shame.
Out of control.
The sinner. My name.
I wish I could turn back time.
And believe in myself again.
I rusted up the wheels with tears
Trapped at the hour of pain.
Cruelty was not my intention.
In fact I believed it was love.
Here I go again with excuses.
Falling, I pray to above.
Forgive me.Those I have broken.
Forgive me. The life that I lie.
Forgive me. For not disappearing.
Forgive me! I ask that you try.

I think we've all felt this sometimes........... and wish we could fix something we did. It's a great apology..........
Thanks Lorna. It's hard when it is so far away from who you wanted to be.
There's always tomorrow.............. move on............
What a great poem, and once we realise what pathetic and flawed creatures we are we can start to address this. Every evil screams "I am good"
But I found all my good screamed I am evil
That I don't know so much about...but since I am offering up cliches maybe "no good deed goes unpunished" is appropriate. Hope you are feeling OK now.
I suppose it was for whose good? Maybe I became selfish?
I spent a long time 'doing good' and 'being good' reflecting back what everyone else needed. Losing any essence of autonomy.
Then I felt empty and wanted to cling to some hope.
But hope destroyed everything.
By the way thanks for responding and for the positive remark.
I think daveyboyz has it
with, once we relies what pathetic and flawed creatures we are.
I guess I never wanted to realise I was pathetic and flawed.... Maybe I can cope with flawed...
I understand what you mean by the sentiments in my poem after reading yours. Great stuff and very honest. We all have the dark side, flawed.
Well I lived in denial of my dark side for a long time... Used just think that I had bad luck... Now I know I made bad decisions
Asking for forgiveness is the first step to going into a better life. You have seen the light, go towards it.
Like a lotus I am eternally growing in the dark towards the light!
