Transgressions

Always polite she has done it again and again

Kind apologies in apoplectic reverberations


‘I am ever so sorry’ and never an honest lie

‘I promise mea culpa won’t happen again’


Regret is never far from her mindful tongue

‘My fault entirely just slipped out of my mouth’


‘Please forgive me my hurtful transgressions’

‘I beg you’ she lays prostrate before the crowd


Remonstrates with her own disagreements

Expostulates her lips into new held resolve


She used to be a passionate people pleaser

Self-talk might help to absolve further pardons
