#62 Forgiveness

There are times in life when your big mouth can get you into a lot of trouble. This poem was written after one of those times. I made a smart comment in front of a group of friends and one gave me a really bad guilt trip so I started feeling low and asked for them to forgive me.

Forgiveness

by Ashley Dickerson

Adrift in a sea of sadness
lost in my thoughts
Jokes can be taken so harsh
when meant to be taken lightly

A slip of the tongue is all it takes
and suddenly you're alone
boxed in a world of fears
a world of tears

Cruelty is it's game
life it's name
ever changing, rapidly sweeping you along
like a roller coaster you can't stop
and as you spin wildly spin
out of control
scenes from earlier on this ride of life
flash through your mind

The walls are closing in
The room begins to spin
you fall to your knees and
beg for it to stop
you beg and plead for
forgiveness knowing
that you were wrong

You've been to bossy,
said too much,
you say it will never happen
again and you know
that you'll do anything
in your power to keep it
from happening again
you love these people
and can't fight
like this with them
so you plead for forgiveness.

This is exactly how I feel. I hurt a friend of mine, one who means the world to me. I have apologised, and I truly am sorry, but he's not ready to forgive me and I'm afraid things will never be the same again. Thanks for the poem. Its beautiful.

My boyfriend got himself into a similar situation a few days ago. He said something that he shouldn't have and unfortunately, it was overheard and repeated. As a result, many of his friends are now angry with him. I searched for a poem about forgiveness because I would really like for his friends to be able to forgive him. I came across this poem and I loved it!
