Forgive Me


Lord forgive me for my sins,

I pray

My sins today

My guilt I can't alleviate

Save me from this hell I call today

N help me appreciate the life u give before this life u taketh away

To my dismay I've been betrayed by mates n compadres, even mi madre n padre

Feelin cold like I'm froze n worked hard to the bone

If fate is set in stone then let it be known that it'll b that of my tomb, ill b one wid the earth

Where my body and mind has no worth but my soul will live far beyond my words.

I have not seen but have only heard

I have dreamed of the absurd

And I've received answers to things I would've rather not learned

Lord please pull my mind out the gutters of hell

And

Let it prevail that you forgive me for my indulgence in retail

In my greed for the gossip n details

For ulterior motives I've been too cowardly to disclose of

Forgive me for loving someone's other

For having spite in my own mother

For discovering the truth and letting it mentally abuse

Forgive me for denying the truth

N lettin loose when I was confused

Bc where u chose me to b birthed its kinda hard not to hold designer close to u.

I was designed to loath n b ruthless n let myself b used by those that cause the bruises

You just gota live life like u one of its muses

And realize It's the life u chose not the one that it chooses
