Christopher Goss Poet Free verse

Gave My Life

I gave my life
For a cause without concern
Like a flower
Digging through concrete

I filter the light
Through years of darkness
What is left
Is all that sustains me

I sought God
But found only demons
So my heart
Became a bastion of corruption

I imprisoned myself
But blamed others for years
Now alone
I wonder how I could ever be forgiven

Line Gauthier May 21, 2018 at 6:24 AM I love the ironic imagery of the flower digging into the concrete while we know it's actually growing in the other direction, from the concrete up. It somehow reflects how the forgiveness may have actually begun by the intention itself.
