Memories haunt me from mistakes I've made. <br />I know not how to erase them from my mind. <br />Will the ghosts of the past forever control my soul? <br />Or will the echos fade and finally disappear with time? <br />How do I learn to live with my shame? <br />How do I explain away my ignorance <br />when I have only myself to blame? <br />Can I face my sins when I can't even own up to them? <br />Shall I disgrace God by asking for forgiveness when I can't forgive myself? <br />My sins aren't so horribly bad. <br />Not as bad as they could have been. <br />But in my mind they play over and over again. <br />Like a broken record that never ends.<br /><br />Crystal Bradley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/broken-memories-2/
