Self Forgiveness

There were things I didn’t know
There were things I didn’t see
There was pressing circumstance
Which took priority

Tried to make myself into
What others told me I should be
Made some promises which had
No basis in reality

Mine errors me much wisdom give
Though wish I might my harm undo
Until I learn myself forgive
I’ll never learn to forgive you
