PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

First forgive yourself then, others will forgive you

Many a time I have asked for forgiveness, it wouldn’t come

Long nights with my “visitors”

Eyes swollen in the morning, no sleep for me

Sounds, smells and sights stir-up emotions

I thought they were locked away

Lo and behold, they found the key

My family not understanding

Me not explaining, avoiding questions

Then

Like an alarm sounding, waking up to a new life

I can forgive myself

Not forgotten, definitely forgiven
