I keep looking
for a different
outcome
to my past
My heart doesn't
understand
the memories
I relive
The self inflicted
punishments
don't resolve
anything
I shake my head
in disbelief
I'm taught
I'm forgiven
If He can forgive
why can't I

I follow hundreds of blogs. More than I can possibly keep up with. I decided that I can only follow more new blogs if I feel that something that I read on their blog strikes me as extraordinary with subject matter that I want to follow. Sorry.

This is a lovely poem, Penny. I can feel the sadness in your words. I hope you’re okay. However, I’m aware that I tend to think my blogging friends are referring to themselves and their feelings in their writing like I do, but poetry, in particular, doesn’t have to be directly about that person. Forgive me if I have assumed wrongly. Hugs Xx 🤗💕

No forgiveness needed. I’m good, Ellie. I like leaving the interpretations of my poetry up to the reader, sometimes. There is always a bit of me in everything I write. Thank you for your kind words. I am well. ❤
