Desire to Remit

 

 

The questions just keep right on coming

But the answers never seem to bring a cure

Sometimes I think that I should stop asking

I am not sure how much more I can endure

 

The resentfulness still hangs on so heavily

Its grip sometimes brings me to my knees

My fighting seems useless against its hold

And it continues to make it hard to breathe

 

Going back has created so much confusion

And I get caught up in my cynical despair

I’m lost in acknowledging all my failures

It is all more than any part of me can bear

 

It feels like I’m the only one saying sorry

For something that I wasn’t responsible for

And I’m getting tired of picking myself up

Too many tears have been cried on this floor

 

However it is much easier said than done

To let go of all the fears embedded so deep

Or to change all of the ways I’ve created

To keep my dreams and desires fast asleep

 

I watch the illusions as they start to die

It’s uncomfortable and I’m feeling unnerved

But I see as things start to become clearer

What I’ve missed and what I’ve deserved

 

I must re-teach my heart how to let go

I know that its walls will be hard to split

But I’m sure I can persuade it to come out

And then bring back its desire to remit
