How do you beg to be forgiven
To stare at what your hands have created
And burn
Guilt churning, your only fuel.
How can I stand with you before me
Imploring, the shattered minds
I don’t–
I never knew.
Learning to stand and rise from their ashes
To rip off this face for a mask anew
And pledge
For them, I have to try.
Learning to fall and fly from heaven
Change all that I have learned to do
I’m here–
Hope lifting, to make it through.
