troubled thoughts

apologies

to all of those

i’ve failed

within my life

the numbers

keep on growing

and the future’s

not so bright

i tell myself

i’m learning

and i’m changing

for the better

but the past

keeps catching up

and the now

feels

somehow

heavier

i know

that on the whole

i have a kind

and loving soul

but its bested

by my weaknesses

too yielding

to let go

ever waiting

for forgiveness

that i’ll never

truly

know

cause the mercy

isn’t coming

from the lives

that i’ve

let down

the mercy waits

within the walls

of my own

prison cell

the peace

i seek

stays buried deep

and

troubled thoughts

remain

as i relive

where i have failed

time

and time

again
