karma

karma always has a way…

of coming back around….

when you feel like you’re free of consequences…

it brings you back to the ground….

and back then…

all I cared about was the attention I received…

but I never could guess….

I was the one being strung along and deceived…

my own ego…

my own pride…

as the pain and brokenness…

I had to hide…

so long desperate for a little….

love and validation…

a dire, desperate need to always turn to self medications….

and what I did was selfish and unkind…

I can’t go back to change the past….

no way to rewind…

out of my own pain…

I caused others tears…

a prisoner of long held childish fears…

but today is a new day…

and love has given me a new and better way….

forgiveness comes in so many forms…

forgive those who hurt you and your own heart too….

and at the end of all your hours…

you’ll know of the right path to choose….
