The Cross I Bear
Kevin Smith
 
I feel it on my shoulders
The weight of things I’ve done
The mistakes that I have rendered
The battles lost and won
 
Deep inside my bleeding heart
Deep inside I care
Regretting ever building
The cross that I do bear
 
I wish that I could change the past
Edit things which have occurred
Change actions, deeds, and moments
Change some simple words
 
Time moves only forward
We each must live with loss
Going on our weary way
Each with our own cross

Oooh I LOVED the second stanza. It seems to me that many people never realize that most of the time we build our own crosses and then have to carry them. A lot of people can't accept responsibility for their mistakes despite the fact that we all make them. Very sad poem, Kevin. Time heals all things, and with any luck your cross will get lighter as you go on. Keep writing!!

Stephanee :)

That is the main reason I write. I write for the purpose of getting things off my chest. Thank you.

This to is a really good piece of writing, I like the way the person has accepted they have to move on taking into regard time waits for no man, but also realizing at the time time carrying their burdens created in the past perhaps not made delibrately, we as all humans only make for ouselves.
