I Forgive Myself

I forgive myself for 
Being attracted to someone
Who does not respect me
I forgive myself for being
Somebody overwhelmed with jealousy 

I was ashamed
Why would I be jealous over somebody 
Who don’t belong to me
What’s wrong with me
I was ashamed to talk about it
Cause I know that’s crazy
Who do I talk to about this
Who can I talk to who won’t Judge me
I’m lonely 


If someone felt that way about me
I would think they are crazy
And that they have some mental issues
But that Person is actually me
Why me 

So if someone come to me
And they feel the same way
About anybody
I will not judge 
Praying for strength to help out
To give this person advice with acceptance and love

Everything happens for a reason
Forgive and love yourself 
Let it go
