I Know I Haven’t Been

I know
I haven’t been
the best mother
daughter, lover
you’ve ever seen.

I tried my best
I did
I did
even thou
it doesn’t seem.

Please forgive
move beyond
to
the best place
we’ve ever been.

Please Forgive

Please forgive
Those that be hiding
In  my memory.

Waiting to jump out
Scare, startle me
Please forgive them

And me. ~ Patrice
