I forgive myself lazy days on the couch,
All the times I just acted like a slouch,
Eating frozen pizza instead of making a meal,
Every single time that I ever ate veal.
The years I used Roundup cuz I didn't know better,
Or how much child labor went into that sweater
Times. I smoked too much, times. I cursed,
Drove intoxicated, It could have been worse.
I forgive all the breakups, all the disappointments,
Divorces, lost friends, all the estrangements.
Emails not sent. Phone calls not returned,
Losing trust when it had been so hard-earned.
It wasn't okay, it isn't now,
But it no longer has to affect me somehow,
Because I learned my lessons, I learn them well,
This is the tale my compassionate heart has to tell.
