Forgive Thyself

 

Welcome to yet another
me esteem busting
poisoned narrative
that drip drip wrecks
already shaky self confidence

Just another fine mess
in the Book of Duress
I've crafted chapter and verse
one mistake at a time

Maybe this can be the section
of my tragic greatest hits
where I alter course
and proceed
in a more positive direction

Cut my chafed uptight ass
some much needed slack

Practice gaffe self forgiveness

Treat every disaster
as a learning experience

Turn the tear drenched page
and proceed with a dry clean slate
onward to the next adventure
