The Weight of My Sky

I am a sinner

I have done things that I’m not proud of

Things that make me shudder even as I think of it now

I wish I can turn back time and make a different choice

But I can’t

All I can do is live with my regrets

My shame

I want to do better, be better

But my demons are ever lurking at the edges of my thoughts

Waiting for me to let down my guard

To pounce and devour me whole

I am so, so tired

Please

Take this burden away from me

Let me have a moment of peace

An eternity of peace

Please

I don’t deserve peace

I deserve punishment

For my sins

For the wages of sin is death

Father, if I can be saved, please save me

Save me

Please
