Please Forgive Me

by Carmen   Nov 7, 2006


God, please forgive me.
For all of my sins,
For being as naughty as I have been.
For not praying everyday,
And for not telling you what I wanted to say.

Sister, please forgive me.
I always try to take you down,
Turning your smile to a frown,
Make you feel like dirt,
Just by saying these very mean words.

Brother, please forgive me.
I know I beat you up,
Trying to act like I'm tough,
But only cause deep inside I'm insecure,
All my thoughts, anything but pure.

Mom, please forgive me.
I know you treat me right,
But all I ever do is fight,
Now I'll respect all that you do,
And this is a promise I will keep true.

Dad, please forgive me.
You're the happiest person I know,
You can make your whole image glow,
But I talk back because it makes me mad,
That you can be so happy, when I am so sad.

But, the one person who I should forgive the most... is myself.
Yesterday, I took the first cut,
Never thought I'd have the gut,
Trying to take away this pain,
The burning inside that's driving me insane.
Now I'll no longer make it physical,
I'll try out this "life" thing, but I admit I'm whimsical....

    I like it . It`s honest . Loving, but cold at the same time . The rhyming was okay, at points it kind of killed my flow while reading this . The lines being long and short meshing together didn`t work too great for me, BUT i still think it was pretty good .

    I really like this poem.. It's so honest and true to your feelings. The last stanza was very well done and it worked very well with the poem. I love how you did each family member and apologized and explained why you were apologizing. Great job on this! 5/5
