Truth Came Out

The truth came out-
So much to spill,
but it's how I feel.

Tired of hiding,
tired of lying.

I know your disappointed in me,
but why can't you just leave it be?

God knows I meant no harm,
it even shows on my arm.

On my knees begging for mercy,
but do I deserve it?

All I ask is to be forgiven,
but can it be forgotten?

Just take baby steps and I promise I'll show you,
what's it gonna take to get this through to you?

Put yourself in my shoes,
Now you see I can't choose.
