On Ramp

My mistakes were of the human kind.
Was told to hold my tongue but was disinclined.
From a flight of winding stairs I fell through my mind.
knavish condescension rendered my sight blind.
In my guilt filled chasm I was confined.
Bloody fingertips on my canvas scrape and grind.  
Self inflicted condemnations unwind. 
I’m entering the interstate of forgiveness that He designed.

You pine and repine! You have tapped into the ever-flowing stream of forgiveness! Your poem is a shallow reservoir of deep thoughts. I enjoyed your rhyme scheme and concise verse! Look forward to reading more of your poetry in the near future! Steve
