Against

Again, I’m so sorry, I won’t do it again, 

I messed up again, the same way again. 

I repent again so please forgive me again. 

Forget my sins again, once more, again. 

If the sin is scarlet, the again is burgundy, 

Crushed from all the agains that burden me. 

But agains will again, and again I’m fearing it, 

I’m sick of saying it as you must be hearing it. 

~Poet of Ephraim
