Forgive And Please Forget Poem by RIC BASTASA

if you notice a repitition
do not be irritated
if you find a duplication
with a little senseless change
at the top
do not be mad
these are the usual symptoms
of my sickness
do not curse the words
do not blame time
do not put too much burden on yourself
do not feast on guilt
because my dear surely with your beauty
and goodness
there is not such a malady of this likeness
that you deserve
try making your own wings and then
fly away
that will do you good
and make those who still want to stay
feel a little bit better
