Poetry
Letting GO
I’ve carried this burden for much too long -
The weight of the things that I’ve done wrong in my past.
Time goes by fast but the irritation seems to last bothering me still.
Guilt and Shame have time to kill they know my name and at times will
Visit my conscience stirring up memories of things I’ve thought that I’ve forgot.
They’ve planned their plot against my soul to rot in this infection
And though I’ve learned my lesson well and though my conscience has been dragged
Through hell enough for me to know that what I did was wrong-
And though I’ve been forgiven by my victims and forgiven by the Lord in heaven I still suffered
From the things that I know I’ve done.
Then one day I awoke from the twisted nightmare of the devils joke
It was me that I’ve choked the life out of it was me that I’ve ceased to Love and forgive
I needed to let go and live the life that Christ died for –
No more of this hatred there’s been way too much life wasted in misery.
I won’t hold these sins against me anymore I’m free to spread these wings to soar on Gods grace
And mercy I won’t let my faults hurt me.
I’m only human after all and not exempt from Adams’ fall.
So then I’ve learned that after I receive forgiveness that Christ has earned
And been forgiven by everyone else –
There is still a need to forgive myself.
