Forgive Me

I want to say I'm sorry

For the colored marker tattoos on your skin

The home barber job I gave you, and your brother

I sincerely apologize 

For making you feel unsafe, insecure, and unimportant.

For convincing you to lie, and cheat, and hide the truth.

I want your forgiveness 

For not being the best I could be 

To prevent you from having better things

Being a better you

Don't continue to harbor bad thoughts, 

Break bad habits, start better ones, 

But don't forget about me,

Remember you are better than I thought you were

Forgive me. 

The reflection I see needs you 

To forgive me
