I’ve reached a point where I’m halted. There’s this brick wall of shame, guilt, and fear that I desperately need to smash down. Shame is connected to who we are, guilt is connected to what we do, and fear is connected to what’s to come. Brick by brick, confession by confession, taking the time to finally address them – one by one these need to be faced and released.
I’m sorry to the people I betrayed before I became a trustworthy person and before I learned how and when to trust people.

Hi Sarah,
I think about you all the time.
I never seen your face.
I pray you’ve never seen mine.
But I know your name,
see it on street signs, elicits sighs.
Turn Olivia Rodrigo off the radio
before I start thinking your boyfriend is mine.
Thank you Sarah, for that night
that you extended trust to help save a life.
I’m sorry, Sarah, for what I did –
tainting your relationship,
I haven’t been able to forgive.
I’m sorry, Sarah.
You deserved better than this.
Much love, until next time.
