Pennance

I confess I am lonely frigid in my separate space wilted in my sad disgrace this exile I alone must face I confess I am afraid shaking in my sinful soul this paranoia takes it’s toll to flee that life my only goal I confess I am ashamed uneasy in my wicked ways longing to live back in those days when life was lived in a chemic haze I confess I am wrong for those I hurt along the way my friends that I called out to play it is forgiveness that I seek today

What powerful words! I too feel this way a lot, and I wish I was drinking again ;(. But I can't. Great poem; keep writing.
