Penance

It has always been ME,
Not the Power above.
Punishing myself.
Thinking I do not deserve love.
And maybe I was right,
Or maybe, I was wrong.
But it doesn't mean I deny myself
The things I truly long.
So let me keep on this journey,
Let me keep on getting lost,
Let me strive to survive,
And one day arrive,
May my hope never exhaust.
