Lighter Me, Forgiven Myself

I know i have caused sleepless nights Even tears are plain in sight I know I have done wrong I know i have covered up the pain Acting like I was insane I have shattered dreams Couldn't blame myself Because it wasn't me Now I know it was all me The tears the pain the hurt Even the discomfort I wake up in a pool of tears The first thing I think of FORGIVEN I had to forgive myself Of everything i have and had done And now I understand things wont be the same So I end my day , with a smile For I feel lighter inside, because I have forgiven MYSELF.

forgiving yourself is crucial, but in my faith being forgiven by God is the most important factor...and the only way to do that is to make it up to the people you impaled..i mean if you are christian and want salvation that must be done..if not then all the power to just forgive yourself, but that is not what christians believe
