Penance

The penance has resumed, it shan’t cease,
I shall continue to knee,
Rigid is the penance, prayer is fervent,
Whatever happens, I shan’t end the chant.

The words shall flow, uninhibited,
They shan’t be caged, they shall be liberated,
Impassioned, the penance shall continue,
I shall resume, shall pursue,

Yes, deep is the penance, resolute,
Rapturous, and repentant, with concern, absolute,
Concentrated is the penance, it’s no light a chant,
It’s not for the weaklings, it’s dense, intense.

I shan’t forget, my regret I show,
Because honesty is everything, and truths should be told,
I’m not afraid to tell the world I’m wrong,
Because that is what makes me human.

I’m not afraid to confess my mistakes,
I’m but regretful, for the blunder I made,
My penance, is for you, and for you alone,
For you, I shall write in blood, today, and tomorrow.

My penance is serious, and I shall atone,
For sins, committed, a sorry song, I shall continue to groan,
Even if voice leaves, even if I die,
I want you to know, I’m sorry, I lied.

My penance is head strong and very patient,
My penance is willful, determined,
My penance has zeal, my penance knows hurt,
My penance sees pain, it isn’t inert.

My penance recognizes my sorry,
Remorse, it also sees,
Penance, is for you, for your blessing,
The penance shall resume, in new beginning.

Penance shan’t stop, until the words you say,
Penance shan’t end, until on my head, your divine hand you lay,
And free me of guilt, eating every fiber,
Oh, I am penitent, liberate me, my angel, you are the one, divine.
