Absolution

Absolution

Who am I

A fool

Who
Selfishly
Wears the
Color black

Self interest
Reign

Addicted to
The win

I evade
the crown
Of thorns
As I steal a sip
From the
Holy grail

No lasting
Shame
In this
Sinner

I suck
The sympathy
From
Your
Eyes
While
I cash in
The silver
To your
Demise

Abhorrent
Of Who
I am
Apathetic
To what
I have
Become

One last
Ride

I seek
A seat
Next
To
Absolution

No expectations
To forgiveness

Only a longing
To
Make
Things
Right

For a wick
That
Has burnt
Itself
To
The
End

Maybe
A
Flicker
Will
Remain
Something
That
Only
Comes
From
Him

In truthfulness 
Though
I have 
to ask
Myself

Is this
Gesture
Pure
Or is
it just
A script
from
An
Actor
Who
Is only
trying
To
Convince
himself
that
he
Is indeed
Human

Being Me

I commented on this already. But my comments didnt post...sorry.

So, here I go again (please bear in mind my mojo may have waned) ...

I read this and found it sad. Greg, you are one of the good guys...you are a fabulous Human Being please dont ever think you are not. You have come across many bad guys so you know more than most what they are like. They are sad excuses of Human Beings. You are kind and you are good...just saying 😉

Love your style of writing ⚘x

I was inspired by the song "Hurt" which makes me evaluate myself.  I am ok, just letting emotions come out

An engaging read and one that raise the issue of any reader and their inner id.
Be it good, bad, indifferent or however varied and if one is being honest in their evaluation for we can't all be on top of game all the time for we all stumble and we all fall, that's life.
And to err is all part of life's game and to be human.
There's good and bad in everyone and things change for the better sometimes and perhaps we should be grateful for that tender and redeeming mercy.
I wish you well Greg and thank you for writing and sharing your thought provoking and engaging poem and like I said things change sir.
