    Hi all, Been writing poems for a while now but never shared them with anyone, Decided no time like the present. Please be honest!

    Forgive me Father for I have sinned,
    Forgive me for this life I live,
    Forgive my actions, Forgive my thoughts,
    Forgive me for all I've lost.

    Forgive me Father for I have strayed,
    Forgive me for this life I waste,
    Forgive my soul, Forgive my heart,
    Forgive my each and every part.

    Forgive me Father for I have cried,
    Forgive me Father for my own demise,
    Forgive my cruelty, Forgive my disgrace,
    Forgive me for my mental state.

    Forgive me Father for I am cursed,
    Forgive me for my little worth,
    Forgive my sadness, Forgive my tears,
    Forgive me for my wasted years.

    Forgive me Father for I have turned,
    Forgive me for all I've burned,
    Forgive my weakness, My unlimited crimes,
    Forgive me Father for I won't survive.

    Forgive me Father for alone I stand,
    Forgive me Father my troublesome land,
    Forgive my insanity, Forgive my intentions,
    Forgive me Father, Please grant me redemption.

    Its more like a prayer of some kind just in case you meet the devil instead of god...if you get me!? I understand the need to be forgiven..but to whom and why is this important!?

    I don't get it.

    Who is talking? Who are they talking to? Why are they asking for forgiveness? Is there a point to the poem at all?

    I wrote this after my Mother passed away, and was kind of in a place where I had to believe in God and Heaven and all that just for my own sanity ya know!? I totally see what you mean though, But I meant it mostly for forgiving myself as opposed to Gods Forgiveness.

    Everyone understands believe me... poems are about expressions of self in a given moment.
    But be careful of opinion from the likes of me

    Bites..ahhh.

    Like these lines. I suppose, like a song, it needs variation? Like you could have the 'forgive me' bits as a chorus, but you need something to give a bit of variety to the poem to make it more engaging.
