Forgiving others
But never myself
For who else
Was going to do this
Besides me
Living life on
The daily and nightly
Just going through the motions
And only existing
Instead of being present
And actually living
Constant loss
Instead of winning
As I added up the costs
No longer my own boss
Just wandering around
And absolutely lost
But what I had found
Through the ups and downs
That I hadn't quite learned yet
Through leaps and bounds
Was that I was
Always much harder on myself
Than anyone else
And this sorely needed
To change
Be rearranged
And no longer feel defeated
Coming out of a box
And having more range
Being so strange
And feeling at times
Deranged
Insane
From all that I had come
And came my way
Sleepless nights
And wavering days
No longer driving
But instead being driven
And as a result
Didn't catapult
Nor gave myself
A rest or break
A huge mistake
And to forsake self
Will be no winning
As I chose
And felt froze
I supposed
As a trial with no ending
As I had left myself
Constantly unforgiven
