Please Forgive Me For I Have Sinned

please forgive me for I have sinned
they've stolen from me and I'm taking revenge

my suffering,my pain, my iniquity
my salvation is drained from my body

if only life could stop, for me I'd cry
for me I'd shed only one drop of a tear

my heart would shatter like a piece of glass
my body would break down like melting ice
only at this time

please forgive me, for I know not what I do
please forgive me, for the broken commitment I made unto you

a single moment, a breaths taken away 
and your gone

still how could I have been so wrong

I look up into the sky, as if itself were my savior
my punisher and my deliverer

punish me for it is deserved and forgive me for the words i served
forgive me, for I know not what I speak

take for granted my mind, my body and soul
deliver me from the cores of destruction
to a path of a story untold

so cold, so unreal
so unspeakable

temptation leads to desire, desire leads to sin
imagine yourself falling in and not being able to swim

my mind was free , my heart was stolen,my body was found,
my soul became a token of creed and evil upon the ground
my senses remain, as i disappear

please forgive me, for I know not how to talk
and forgive me for the bitterness in my silence 
as my soul begins to walk

to a place of everlasting 
to a kind of unknown
to a time of never begins
Please forgive me for I have sinned!

Tyesha, this is so wonderful! It reminds me of a movie. It flows with such reverence and grace. It also says a lot. The stanzas flow with the title and are right on point.

The emotion comes through your words on this one. Though it's important to seek the forgiveness of others one also has to learn to forgive oneself. Congratulations on having your poem featured. Best wishes with your writing. Karen

Very powerful words! I don't understand what a sin is. To me it's the foundation of the world and people are more afraid to be without it than with it. The way I see it, no one has a right to claim your actions hurt them unless they decided to feel hurt by them, the phrase 'playing the victim' captures that well enough. Therefore they don't need to forgive you for the pain they decided to feel. There's only one person who needs to forgive you, and it's not Jesus, per Micheal's comment below.

Tyesha - Thats the beauty regarding the life of Christ - He will forgive that sin - it's just human nature to want to hurt those who hurt us - Welcome to the Soup - Happy New Year & God Bless, MJ
