Scorched Soul

Many scars thru this journey I'm just trying to be free Many lessons learned poorly Have shaped the worlds view of me I have never claimed perfection And my flaws are mine alone to bear Many have disowned me Many just don't care I feel the burning in my soul Some memories are a curse Will I be judged by those who hate me Or will it be Something worse This heart no longer has the room To house the wounds upon my soul I'm left on my knees begging God To come and make me whole Forgiveness is a true healer When on others you bestow But you must also learn to forgive yourself For the healing in your soul

We have learnt lives lessons the hard way, the wrong way and sometimes in the most chaotic way and we have been stronger. Yes a lot people pretend to care and there are lot of things to forgive. I also need to forgive myself for the people that have hurt me, it's a great start, hard but should be worth it. This is a great piece, I felt every word and feeling. Cheers Carl.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
