The Unconditional Condition

 

We all have our faults,

everyone having

their own imperfections.

 

Each one of us,

living with the mistakes

we make.

 

Only to relive

the memories we wish

we could erase.

 

Yet how would we

learn from our mistakes

if we didn't suffer consequences?

 

The horrors that haunt our minds

of things we regret.

The things we sih we never did.

 

Feeling worthless,

not knowing if we could ever

be granted grace by anyone.

 

Doubting a second chance will

ever come,

because we feel like

we don't deserve one.

 

***************

I know I have been forgiven

for mine.

Yet I still feel the guilt

and the shame.

 

Never truly feeling

I would be shown the

unconditionality I seek.

 

I would certainly overlook

someone else's mistake

but I cannot bare to overlook my own.

 

I pray someday

some could look at me,

and still want me,

after everything I have done.

 

I am hoping for

unconditional love.

Mmm. Nice write. "The countless reasons why guilt is clung to." It gets to be like an old worn out and worn pair of denim jeans. Then one day, when we are 60+ we find them in a box, and ask ouselves, finally, after reminiscing, what it was we cherished about the memories that caused us to haul them around for 60 years. There's always some twisted slither of enjoyment in playing the role of the martyr, isn't there? All we have to do is acknowledge it....poof!!! Gone!!

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
