Unforgiving but I repent

Mistakes I made,

And those I hurt

Along the way,

Indulged to much

And I lost my way,

Lost myself in my shame

To much temptation

It’s a poor excuse I say,

But now I live a different day

Far more controlled

And from my path I don’t stray,

But the memories

They come in waves

Reminding me again and again,

Of overindulgent days

Unforgiving but I repent,

For the time I wasted

And the opportunities

That was spent,

And lost along the way

I hurt people with my mistakes

And that can’t be washed away,

But I realise now

And I’ve changed my ways,

Taking it day by day

Living with shame,

Responsible for the blame,

Holding myself to account

For my overindulgent ways,

Unforgiving but I repent

These words are deeply meant,

I am no longer walking

Down those roads I went,

That left me damaged

That left my soul rent,

My spirit now is purifying

Tear stained cheeks

From all the crying,

Nothing can change

What went before,

But change means

Not doing this anymore,

Simply sharing love

And doing good,

That’s my life now

And that’s understood,

Unforgiving but I repent

For all I have done,

And the overindulgence

I find my heart insolvent,

For the way I lived

But now I’ll give,

More goodness than I ever did

For the way I lived.
