Bloody Knees
By jajang829
Visions
flashing in my mind
Stuck in a never ending loop
Beginning
and end undefined
Forcing me to stoop
From the weight of it all
I
watched you stumble
And I watched you fall
Expecting your spirit to crumble
As I stand here tall
Realizing only now that I am to blame for it all
You
look to me with stoic courage
Even as I am now falling apart
Your face betrays a understanding visage
Which only
adds ache to my breaking heart
Down to my knees I fall
All I see is the pain
The pain that I cause
Wondering how you see me without disdain
And forgive me without pause
You must be too innocent to understand it all
My hope is for forgiveness
From you it has already been granted
But from
me the thought only brings darkness
My self-worth forever tainted
It is into self-HATRED I fall

If I knew being nicer and forgiving woke up the conscience of folks as portrayed here, I may give up cynical... I like how it makes one see narrator as guilty somehow...but still feel for them.

Excellent piece. Completely fulfilling read. And although I agree we have to learn to forgive ourselves...I believe pain comes from the fact there is still someone in our lives we haven't forgiven and healing won't be felt until we are able to do that. For some of us...there will never be healing. And so I join you with bloody knees.

We can never truly forgive until we learn to forgive ourselves. Such a nice, elegant, TRUE, write. We hate ourselves for the misdeeds we've committed. Not only that, but in turn begin to hate ourselves what we have wronged. We are at our own judgement. The worse of anyone. This was a lovely write and flowed very well. Write on.
