Failure

As hard as I try I’m unsuccessful
Of amending my faults
Promises, words and prayers
Don’t yield successful results
But only continue to affirm my
Weaknesses and add to my
Grief and sadness

Such a sad, honest write. We are all a work in progress and flawed. The fact that you keep trying to improve yourself says something! Good job.

It takes time

I started “healing” like 3 years ago. It’s just a long process and it’s like playing a sport or an instrument, you have to practice and fail a lot before you get decent at it. Just hang in there.
