Poem for forgiveness

Breathe Father bland Vitamin

Breathe… can you feel the remorse filling your lungs
Can you feel the pain cutting into your arteries
Can you feel the disgust drooling the anger you couldn’t let go

Today I’m resetting the index and I’m starting backwards
This story we once called life seems to have ended
And begun the same day we said yes to a message

“Freedom rings in this place Showers of mercy and Grace”
We are free from the lies that cause cancer to our souls
So why are we living like the echo of our past

Why are we denying whole truths for half lies
Taking our weekly vitamin on upset stomachs
Residing in sickness seems far-fetched from reality
Like the bland rhythm of our lives that seems to have skipped over
And over
And over
Leaves me wondering how the song of our lives will end
If were repeating the crimes we’ve committed
Then are we committed
Are we?

Who’s to tell us what reality is
Our father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Why do I hear with deaf ears the truth you have brought us too
Why do we listen as mutes to your doctrines
Why do we forsake your kingdom your name your love
Why do we put you last and others first
If your all that matters.

Forgive me for my cancerous soul
Forgive me for the wreck I’ve made of myself
I’ve fallen in your presence and broken my legs to stand on
Carry me
