A Different Outcome

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes 


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

      2. 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.

  9. 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 🤗💕
