The choices I made yesterday, shaped my today

I have done wrong, I have been wronged

I’ve had my heart broken, I’ve broken hearts

The guilt I feel, will never let me go

Sinking its razor sharp teeth, into the very depths of my soul

Never to let go again, never to set me free

It feeds on my errors, only to make it worse

I’m not allowed to forgive myself; it will never let me be

When I close my eyes, I see their faces

Those I hurt, those I betrayed

I feel the foliage of death, covering my soul

I feel the edge rolling towards me, impatiently waiting for me to jump

The dark consumes the light, my heart grows cold

I push out the guilt, justifying my wrong

Only to fight with myself, losing to myself

With drooping shoulders, I return to my darkness

Say my goodbyes and make amends, without anyone knowing

I walk from my darkness, nearing the endless edge

And without a word, I jump

Release myself

Falling

To where I cannot

Hurt

anyone

ever again

FunnyBunny:

Most intensely dark, sad and depressing. Gave it an "I Like It" vote.

It is frightening to think many may think this way.

Everyone needs to be able to forgive themselves, others and, somehow, reform their own lives. Everyone can be forgiven and will be. By the Lord. If they wish, ask for forgiveness (from God, self and others) and make a sincere attempt to not repeat their sins and/or mistakes.

Hope this was your intent.

Happier trails,

Ed Bradley.

Ed, as a Christian you know when you make a mistake its so much harder to get over it. It feels like I've failed the Lord. but its true, God will forgive. Thank you so much.

Sadly the number of such people becomes greater as life progresses, we attract them like barnacles as we sail through life, not because we are bad but because we and they are human and humans err. Like the poem.
