Question

Regrets To Self-forgiveness

Last two mornings
I wallowed
Like a couple newborn babies
The salt sea formed in my eyes
Could not stop flowing
For the emotional pain
Was like that of a volcano within me
My soul was so broken
As I had stepped outside my character many times
Things I was not proud of
It mattered not that I didn't break the law
It mattered I done against myself
I stepped outside my character some
Just to have someone love me
I could not accept that I could very well
Face being alone socially speaking for life
And that stabbed me worse than the sharpest sword
For I been an outcast all near 33 years on earth
Despite my people-person decent personality
I kept hoping against hope some things be different
Like a dying person struggling to accept death
But in the end realize those things could not be different
Like a person cannot change the race they are
I always felt regrets 
About my past regrets
Even promised myself
In 2009
I would never stop being true to myself
Though it means that many people would find me dull
And uninteresting
For I prefer to be a good girl and moral one
Complete with a generally G to PG personality
I step to the pc
About to admit my past regrets to a woman I never met
A Christian woman
On a website with some people who pray
But before my fingers finished typing
My fingers paused
For I felt the presence of the Lord
Moving me into silent praying
And lead me into finally forgiving myself
Of my past regrets
And lets me know that things will someday be ok for me
As long as I let Him lead me
As for people I stepped outside my character for
Were never worth it in the end
Nor was it worth hurting my relationship with God


Thanks to all who took the time who read this and I acknowledge not a lot of people like to read long poems on here, so my special thanks to those who did.

And I promise, no thumbs down from me!

Have a peaceful day! :)

I am so glad He stopped you before you typed the words,
they were meant to be shared only between you and He.
You are on the right path, by being true to yourself, you will be true to Him, always treat yourself with respect and honor, by doing so, again, you honor and respect Him.  This was a joyful read for me because of your honesty and desire to be pure of heart. I would never call you dull nor boring!  Keep writing!

Our past sins, pains, regrets and even the guilt, has been placed in Almighty God's  "Sea of no remembrance", The only regret is not knowing Jesus sooner..Experiencing His cleansing refreshing waters that washes our sins away making us pure and ever with whole in mind, body and spirit, brings the unspeakable joy as there is no regrets and daily we are free to walk free never looking back to when we were pigs in the mire. We are now kings of our King Jesus and when we see him face to face, the glory we shall share knowing that He paid the price with His Precious blood by laying down His life giving us eternal life without even the guilt of sin as we stand before him...No matter what has caused the pains, Jesus bore that pain before us, so that we could live in true joy and peace, as we lay it down before him, never to pick it up again...

Self forgiveness and acceptance and love for ourselves does not come easily to some.. I read and I followed you right to the end.
My past is behind me. It is part of who I am, It is not who I am.

Cheers, God love you..
Merry Christmas..!

That was great!  I believe if you forgive yourself, you acknowledge that you are not perfect and allow others into your world to see who you really are.  Then you can determine who will remain and who will flee.  Great job!
