Confession Poem by Ritu Shah

Dear God, can I make a confession?
Will you forgive me for what I have done?
How did I forget you are always around?
Or may be no other option I found.
Please consider me as an ignorant
Like children of yours make mistakes
The burden on my heart doesn’t go off
As people say sins take the sleep off
The courage I lack to say it to all
To you, I want to admit once for all
I know it cannot be undone
But in your haven, it makes me better
Will the mercy be bestowed on me?
I swear I’ll not reiterate this
A new lesson of life I learn here
However beautiful the pleasures -
some of them take us no where…
