It’s Killing Me…
Waiting with bated breath
For the decision to be made
For me to save myself
And release me from within
Expose me -ignite my light
Stop me from cowering tight
To the past before the growth
I know the wrongs -I did commit
They ache my soul, cause me to spit
What harm I’ve caused, I cannot undue
Which is why I live, as I do
Release me now, let me soar
There is so much to atone for
The light inside is strong enough
To learn from all that I have done
To say I’m human. I’ve made mistakes
Are simple words that don’t convey?
The sorrow, dark and emptiness
The shackles I’ve worn to long
To accept the past with the faults
Is something only one can do
Not every wrong is forgiven
Nor shall they always be
But what is done -is done
I must let go and let it be
Because inside it’s killing me
