Forgiven

Will I ever be forgiven
for simply being born? 
Will I ever forgive myself
or will I always feel this torn? 

It's easy forgiving others.
I feel they need my love.
Then why do I only feel I deserve
the angry push and shove? 

To see what should be done.
It's all so clear to me.
But telling my heart to feel that way...
It simply just can't be.

I'll keep on pushing forward
throughout this awkward strife.
One day we'll all be happy
and laugh at this crazy life.
