How can I ask forgiveness from you
If I can’t even forgive myself?
After all, isn’t the primary purpose of life
To live it fully
With no regrets
And to live it for oneself?
I feel i’ve lost a battle
In which I am the only threat
And I the only champion
A battle waged against
A destruction of health and death
Till there’s just nothing left.
Forgive and forget, but forgive me
Those trespasses
Especially the ones made upon myself
I’ll write it off
As tragedy
And place it up on life’s shelf
Forgive yourself.
