To Forgive Oneself
I ask this of you: Do not forgive me just yet
You see I'm not quite ready to be pardoned
Spare me time to grieve over my moral debt
For only then can one's guilt be abandoned.

Fair enough, but don't take too long to forgive yourself, guilt is only a signpost to the path of redemption.?

You are right dear Jason. Mostly I write it so that I hear it! We need to forgive ourselves more than we need to be forgiven. It's a matter of survival.
Thank you ?
