  • Judas or John?

    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!
