If it please God, 
may my friends forgive me 
my mistakes, 
mostly unintended. 
If it please God,
may the world forgive me
my interruptions to the flow, 
my combative honesty, 
my angry outbursts, 
mostly unintended. 
If it please God,
may I write from my heart, 
sing with my soul, 
accept praise and criticism, 
mostly without judgement.

Author's Note: This poem was written midway during my PTSD treatment, seeking forgiveness.
