Needing To Forgive Myself

There’s an easy fix I threaten
Every morning and it’s getting
Boring, guess I let it set in

Adorned and splayed for all to see
My life, displaced because of me
Ashamed of who I’ve come to be

I need to try more than ever
In my mind, for something lesser
Seen it in her eyes forever.

I just need to find the bottom
Stand up straight, above the water
Breathe until it’s all forgotten.
