Dear God... I hate to be bothersome However, I could use a bit of clarity down here Trying to assimilate your will has become quite cumbersome So, are there exceptions to the rules you meant for us to adhere? "Hate the sin but not the sinner", Was ingrained within an impressionable mind Depraved acts forced my soul to splinter Leaving painful shards that shook my faith And allowed darkness to stand at my side If loathing cannot happen and forgiveness is a must I fear my heart is amiss For it is seething with pain and disgust A fate sealed by an excruciating kiss I want to hate the few that tortured my being Detest the cruelty within their adolescent eyes To forgive them is something I have no interest in needing Seeking only the solace from my weariness to despise Please do your bidding, If enlightenment is the key Take me from blindness to sight Stop me foreboding over doing the forbidden Releasing the anguish in order to heal and rise
Healing, as it is in recovery, is not a linear process. For a perfectionist, this is HELL! There are many ups and downs, twists and turns, good days and extremely ****** ones...Allowing yourself to feel and accept ALL OF IT, without judgment is part of the process!
