Forgiveness refused by self
and acceptance of mistakes made
is denied.
Ego battles reflection's revelation
of humanity's emergence
and remorse,
shatters the protective mask
denying the truth,
but showing the beauty
of vulnerability.

I guess venerability can be beautiful. It displays the humanistic side we all hold. Sometimes it's a task to forgive myself. I know I am a mere mortal, human, prone to error...
Thank you for these words. They are deeply rooted in love. They are words of great wisdom, something my grandmother would have said to me.
There is a perfectionist side of me that always wants to do the next right thing. Try as I may, I often fall short, that is also equated to my human nature. I sigh knowing that the dark side of me has reared its head but I know it was necessary. I don't feel so hampered by simply being who I am these days. I love with intensity, and expect that love to be reciprocated. When it isn't, and I feel pain, I tend to lash out. I know all these things about myself.
Letting go is the key, and that's the direction I am head in. Thanks for this entry, it has given me more than enough food for thought. I wish you well in this contest.
Much Love Always ♥
