I Forgive Me

So much guilt.
So many acts that shamed,
making me feel worthless.
Empty, but for Hope.
Yet, what use be this hope
if I had not learned to forgive me?
Crying increasingly
‘cause pain, coursed through me.

Here, in this moment
I forgive me.

Gavin, what a deep, powerful, inspirational piece this is! Forgiveness is like love; to be able to forgive others, we first have to learn to forgive ourselves. I rate this a 7! Have a wonderful weekend!
