And Here I Stand, Both Corrected and a Fool

And here I stand, both corrected and a fool
Yet here I stand, both forgiving and willing
To afford another try.
Pity me, but do not pity me
I hate to be pitied
But my stupidity leaves you with no choice
But to pity me
I am with shame for two times is one too many
Given the crime, one time is far too many
You are, but lucky that you found such a forgiving soul
To victimise
A braver heart would not have stood here, both corrected and a fool.
