I want you to know that I dont know what Im doing
I want you to know that Im sorry for my sins
But realize I dont know what to trust
Ive heard all these rules that I am supposed to follow
and, honestly, its all too overwhelming.
I want to believe...
I need to believe...
but I don't know what is right,
I dont know what is real.
If I knew, I would put my heart and soul into this.
So, God, if you're real:
Don't get angry with my sins
Don't get angry because I don't believe...
Realize this:
Im searching for the truth and when I find it, I still won't be perfect.
I will sin.
I will do everything ass backwards...
That's who i am.
Even when I mean to do the right thing it comes out wrong.
Love me even when I act dumbly
Love me even when I loathe you.
Love me with all my sins intact.
Author notes
love happens once in a lifetime. the difference lies in how many time you're willing to live in the time that you're alive.

Hey there, firstly allow me to apologise for the late judgement of this contest, Penance, such an interesting theme, one i dont see used on this site very often, and one i think you've tackled very very well indeed. I wont say anymore on it at this point, but what i will say is thank you very very much for the entry. Best of luck in the contest.

ahhhhh Thats a nice write. To know yourself is to love yourself (who said that?) But, it's true and you do know yourself and that is a wonderful trait. Keep up the good write and good luck in the contest.

Very good write! I think everyone searching for the truth can relate to this - I know I do! In fact, I think I can relate to most of your poems!
This has very good flow and the message is easy for the reader to get. Yet you wrote with a sense of vagueness where the reader could insert their own life and how he or she relates. Well, in my opinion, that what it looks like. Great write, as usual!
