Like flesh-eating bacteria,
guilt
ravishes my mind,
devours my soul,
cannibalizes my humanness.

Malignant memories of lies and deceit
rob a future of inner peace.

Victims of my selfishness stalk my dreams
as they cry and plead for mercy.

Confession only brings so much relief
as I plead no contest to my darkest deeds.

I am a dead woman walking
condemning myself as the clock ticks.

Jury, judge, executioner,
I sentence myself to the electric chair of unforgiveness.

I choose to ask for forgiveness.
I choose to forgive myself.
I choose to make amends.
I choose to let go of guilt.
I choose a second chance.

Melissa writes about the God and human connection and condition.
