The Moment of Atonement

My Dear World, I owe you an apology; Forgive me for I have distorted thee: lying passionately, I failed to accept you by chimera deceptional I wanted to surmount you believing myself to be exceptional. Forgive me My World my bitterness, narcissism and selfishness; for a fool I was since the truth was consciously unknown to me thus calamitious the discovery would be. Please forgive me all the souls my ambition eradicated, all the feelings my sharp tongue destroyed, all the emotions my cold heart repudiated, for how much all those deeds I enjoyed. I was then infected; the infection seemed incurable as I wanted it to be - or wasn't I aware how diseased I was? My Dear World, I owe you an apology; Forgive me my blindness to the beauty of life; With myself in centre I would not look around for distorted was my perception by a deceitful projection of perfect me in faulty universe. My Dear World, Thank you for instant recovery of my senses, the wisdom you blessed me with, the pain myself was redefined through. Yester year I reached the deepest depth slowly losing my pride - my psyche was nearing death in plight I could hardly abide - I understood a mere human I am. Now I laugh enjoying my life every day forsooth heartily and with ruth. Thank you My Dear World Please, forgive me.
