Mercy

I have betrayed myself and others My own sisters and brothers So tonight as I sit kneeling I can only feel this feeling Guilt and death itself Crawling out of the bookshelf I read the words and I can't find mercy Neither the priest nor the clergy I find myself in this hole again Crying and weeping as I sat there wondering; fearing Fearing that my best was not enough

Jay Eddy,Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
