My Bitter Well

That last prayer
Was just another way of saying
I’m angry.
I wasn’t really praying
For forgiveness,
I wanted retribution,
But these feelings are foreign
To my constitution
You created me differently,
So I bow the knee
To none other but You
Forgive me,
And forgive them.

Always Do
What pleases You
Cauterize my bitterness.
Let Your will be done on earth, as it is

Everywhere else through all time.
