Finding Forgiveness

Something hard to give

and even harder to receive

I did what I said I'd never do

I failed myself, and even worse, you.

Now, where do I go?

How do I overcome?

This hole in my chest

that has left me numb.

I can't look into your eyes

The weight of my shame is too great

So I hide behind lies

Pretending I'm in a great state

of mind, smiling, acting wise.

But the truth is,

I'll never feel w h o l e

Until I accept the past

And move forward

Believing that I'm w o r t h y

of a fresh start

of continuing to reach my goals.
