Blaming yourself for the smallest mistakes,
even the ones you played no part in.
placing your heart in the scale of justice,
counting the sins you know was unintentional,
seeing your flaws and every tarnish,
why in the world would you torture yourself like this.
You know in your heart you are the kind of good that world fails to see,
you know you carry the light that had rescued people,
you have so much in the past to look up to and embrace,
then why in the world are you blind to see it.
Stop putting yourself through the hell you don't deserve,
stop beating your soul up for water under the bridge,
instead, pat your own shoulder for travelling over thorns without loss of rectitude and solidity.
and keep moving forward with faith in yourself, leaving the past, long forgotten
