My Apologies To Myself

I apologise to myself, always,
for holding on to fear,
and letting it control me,
whenever something good comes near.
I apologise to happiness,
for waiting for the next hard thing,
please forgive me hope...
for preparing still, for doubts' harsh sting.
Please forgive me heart,
For letting you control too much, and,
please forgive me head, for never trusting you enough...
I apologise to you, my voice,
for hiding you away,
and only thinking silently,
the things that I should say,
and yet, forgive me silence,
for never letting free your roar,
and keeping it locked down inside,
burning, like some painful sore.
I apologise for giving up,
on each and every dream,
and pretenting still to follow them,
for the sake of the routine.
I apologise to life,
for always dreading death,
yet somehow being half afraid,
to breathe in the next breath.
Yet worst of all, I'm sorry,
for hiding behind this page,
and letting fingers write out things,
my mouth should really say.
I'm sorry I couldn't let the words,
flow out between my lips,
or even have the courage,
to finish writing this.
Please know that I am sorry,
for living life this way,
I hope and pray, no matter what,
you'll forgive my pain someday.

I think in order to love others well, one needs to love themselves first. Much the same, I belive holds true for forgiveness ... you must be able to forgive yourself in order to forgive others ... and more importantly ... to accept their forgiveness.
I know you have heard me mention Terry Goodkind a time or two... he has this to say about the matter... Wizard's Fourth Rule
"The Wizard's Fourth Rule, he called it. He said that there was magic in sincere forgiveness, in the Fourth Rule. Magic to heal. In forgiveness you grant, and more so in the forgiveness you receive."
And Philly...
" I apologise to life,
for always dreading death,
yet somehow being half afraid,
to breathe in the next breath."
Now THAT is an apology !!!

For some reason this one has me really wanting to write. Perhaps it's that you've expressed so much in verse - it's catching, as I realize I have plenty that wants to be expressed so.
So never mind whether the verse is "good" or not (although your work is always good technically and rhythmically, and always manages to say a lot, so is never "bad"), it is compelling. I recognize a lot in there that I'm sure a lot of us wrestle with, especially the line Nazzy quoted.
Keep it up.

Andrew is so right, hun. There is so much in here that many of us wrestle with.
Damn. I loved this the first time I read it, but I can't decide if you've changed
it or not. (There are things I either missed on my first read, or you've added
them, [just to confuse me :P]) This cuts us all open. And the shared emotion
is one of the things that makes this such a sensational piece!!
I'm glad you posted this, hun, for your own personal reasons, (and I hope
it helped), but to say that it's not something special is an injustice to the
emotion and power you evoke in your readers. This stirs hearts to the
very core and inspires and motivates in a way that could move a mountain!!
Lovely work, sweetie, as always. =) Glad to see another post from you.
*hugs you tighter than tight*
love you girl-

Wow, Phil. This was really hard hitting. I think many of us feel this way. I've always thought I was my own worse enemy of sorts. No one can ever come down on me as hard as I have myself....yeah, sometimes I forget to apologize to myself, for how harsh we can be to ourselves....when it is ourselves we should love and honor the most. There is so much inner pain and turmoil which seems to brew silently within us. Forgiving and loving oneself seems to be a good start on renewal. Bold and beautiful write, my sister.
Much peace, love and hugs,
Laura |

Phil,
I think that we do owe ourself an apology if we are engaging in condemnation. We may apologize for specific incidences; but not for our self as an entire undeserving entity. We are all imperfect. Guilt is one thing, but shame for our personhood we cannot allow. If you need to apologize, do so for what you said, not for who you are.
I think we cannot afford the idea that we are ok once we rid ourselves of our faluts. Rather wa need to love ourselves with our faults.
This was a very worthy write, well done.
Will
