Forgive Me, Please?- BGJ

Forgive me please when I act out, for the pity parties stirred from a lot of self-doubt
Forgive me please for my silent voice, for being bothered too much by another’s noise
Forgive me please when I shout and fuss, when I talk too much or in great anger cuss
Forgive me please for calling you names, for gossiping and groaning because we’re not the same
Forgive me please when I won’t forgive, God’s told me it’s wrong so I can rightly live
Forgive me please when I brag and boast; it’s inferior feelings, just so you’ll know
Forgive me please for picking you apart; the words steal your joy and later tear out my heart
Forgive me please when I worry and fret, for I’m human like you so don’t be upset
Forgive me please when I act better than thou, for indeed it’s an act and you know this now
Forgive me please when I hate what I’m not, just pray for me for that would mean a lot
Forgive me please when I bring in my past, and make you pay for what another did last
Forgive me please as I beg your pardon; for you’ll need it too else your heart grow hardened
But most of all, I need God’s forgiving touch, and I know that I am, His Son meant that much…
