Notes About The Poem

2/18/2025 for Healing Poetry Contest sponsored by Kai Michael Neumann

Mending Attitude

Life, already, is difficult and short,
with pain dealt by the hands of others, 
as in relentless judgment they hold court. 
I've had enough from my sisters and brothers - 
without burdening myself with blame
for times that I have hurt relatives and friends, 
or myself, with decisions I have made.
No more will I live in regret and shame
but adopt an attitude that mends.  
I have already overpaid.
