forgive me I failed though right now I don't seem to care it's over it's gone I'm lost like I've always been yet I'm free now to admit it forgive me I'm evil soft and sweet on the outside yet poisoned underneath addictive and cancerous all at once you don't want me forgive me I'm selfish I don't want your issues or baggage my hands are full with mine and I don't want to share cause I'm too proud forgive me I'm worthless can't pay the bills my mouth purchases broke and twisted lost and confused I'm nothing you really want or can use cause I'm ugly forgive me it's over forgive me I failed forgive me I'm evil forgive me I'm selfish forgive me I'm worthless cause I'm ugly cause I'm proud you don't want me yet now I'm free to admit it forgive me I'm dying inside forgive me I'm dead |

forgive me I'm evil soft and sweet on the outside yet poisoned underneath addictive and cancerous all at once you don't want me" very intense. It's hard to think someone could be this way, sometimes they are and they don't want to be. Very intense. |

Well said, you spoke for so many people here: "forgive me I'm selfish I don't want your issues or baggage my hands are full with mine and I don't want to share cause I'm too proud" |

Powerful stuff. I hear yah. You should have been here last night...we were all in this mood (well. Some of us were). Tough write, very well expressed. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Well, your writing is intense in its usual way. I enjoyed the power and honesty in this a lot, Des. Its great as always to see your writing here. Take care of you. *Jenn* Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence. |

I forgive you for pain I forgive you for sorrow But how can I let go again and give away tomorrow? There was so much to say and so much to hide and by losing today you kept all your pride. I've cried all I cared to I've screamed all I could And though I still love you perhaps I'm no good. I'm missing my classes I'm missing my meals Can I live till it passes I'll die before this heals I wake up sobbing I go to sleep in tears my friends have all left me They can't calm my fears My heart lives in snow and trust long ago died So I want you to know you're not the only one dead inside. "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone |

When you are forgiven, you begin to live again, but you first have to forgive yourself. Kathleen |

Desperado~ I found that the intensity reached in and 'hit me with both barrels'~ 'forgive me I'm worthless can't pay the bills my mouth purchases' Wow ... reaching deep with this one~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

First we must forgive ourselves. This is a great read. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |
