My betrayal of myself was difficult to face,
As it didn’t come from an ill-intentioned place.
To be Judas is truly an awful fate,
But I learned before it was too late.
I sold myself for thirty pieces of coin,
But now with my heart, I must rejoin.
I wish to be John and give my love to itself,
Not blindly following strategies off-the-shelf.
I have attempted to ignore, punish, and even sugarcoat,
But now I see that forgiveness with love is the only antidote.
Forgiveness is my powerful tool,
To confront my Enemy: me, the fool.
I love my Enemy and made my peace,
So my life is no longer on lease.
I have gotten out of my own way,
I have found the light of day!
