Rebirth Poem by Liam O'Brien

For forgiveness I ask,
Yet is it forgiveness that I want?
Or merely to feel good?
To feel like I have done my duty?

Remove my mask.
I am done being nonchalant,
Done with my execution hood,
Open my eyes to the pain and beauty
Of a repentant soul.

A repentant soul sees
That I pray in repentance because
I have truly sinned.
I have truly fallen short of grace.

Like words upon a breeze,
I close out all of what I once was.
I was taken by wind
And now is the time I run this race
For kingdom in glory.

Renascentia.
