Jesus, When Did You Repent

You did not walk in shame for who you were, Screaming iniquity to your face. You did not hate yourself, Feel worthless, unfit for love, nor Did you grieve for stealing or lies you told. Did you ever cut your flesh To stop your tornado mind? You did not know failure. Recorded temptations symbolic. You could not give in; God cannot sin. When were you mentally ill, Medicated for Depression or Bipolar? You were not in deep therapy for years? What addictions ruined your life, A slave to appalling pleasure, and Did you beg God each night to quit, Then return every day to the vomit of Your own destruction? Jesus, when did you ever repent?
