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.
