My Sins

I lay in bed thinking of things i've done
to those who didn't  deserve my wrath.
For they were friends and dear to me,
nd now I'm following a troubled path.

The darkness has invaded and
I don't know when it came.
I remember I had many friends,
and now I see who is to blame.

I am to blame for thinking I 
could hide my darkest side.
But the stain is always near, 
perhaps even by my bedside.

My sins are many and the 
dark side keeps on growing.
I can almost hear it laughing, 
And now it's almost showing.

The feeling of guilt especially when it begins to consume u is somewhat so tormenting, but forgiving and asking forgiveness at the same time is the perfect antidote. Nice poem by the way..

Thank you Karen. Guess I need to atone for my indiscretions by asking forgiveness.
