State of Grace

Whoever has a clear conscience never throws a stone and can sleep well waking up in a mellow state gladly, then make a revision of conscience with no intention to clone; I have felt guilty for not loving others enough with honesty, not taking their needs to heart: it's wrong to hide sensibility. Being sorry can't replace that trust I can't atone speedily, they doubt my looks and their thoughts don't show sympathy; I stand alone: anything I say and do can't make any amends: has mercy gone from them completely, who has a bit of pity? How long can a foolish man continue to lie with deceitful words? Date: 8/16/2020, title: State Of Grace, sponsor: Edward Iben
