REASON, BEYOND A DOUBT...

They have a reason beyond doubt to free me

From the chains of shame.

I,

The Convict

The un-forgiven.

I repented and lamented

Over the wrongs of my choices

In that Godless Realm.

I paid full measure

For my single crime

Did time

Unjustly imprisoned without a trial

For awhile.

I forgave myself and moved on,

I stood proud

And worked at life,

I made amends and suffered greatly.

Imprisoned and alone

I sat,

Waiting for the judgment that

Would set me free,

But I,

The un-forgiven,

The convict,

Would not be heard, or seen, or felt,

By those who have the power

To forgive,

It is time

To put it away

Deep in the back of my mind,

And let time flow

With no remorse at having tried so well.

There is reason beyond doubt,

To go on with things

To forgive myself

For today does not tarry

And yesterday is gone.
