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
