TEAR DROPS

s o r r y

Sorry

What are we even apologizing for?

What do we mean when we atone?

Do we think it is easy to forgive?

So simple to ask for forgiveness?

It takes courage to ask for forgiveness

Courage to forgive someone

It never is as easy as they say

But we do it all the same

Until we are forgiven

Until it doesn't weigh on our conscience anymore

And we forgive all the same

To be better than ourselves

To be free of the burden of what if's

But is that all?

The guilt stays even when I am forgiven

The words stay until after I have forgiven

So tell me

Why do we do it either way?
