A prayer for the poisoned

 
 Forgive my blindness
 Forgive my deafness
 Forgive my lies and pretence. 
 
 Forgive my ignorance
 Forgive my coldness 
 Forgive my scorn and disdain.
 
 Forgive my deceptions
 Forgive my incompetence
 Forgive my turning away. 
 
 Forgive my ugliness
 Forgive my vanity
 Forgive my arrogance and blame. 
 
 Forgive my depravity
 Forgive my ingratitude
 Forgive my weakness and guilt.
 
 Forgive my squandering
 Forgive my impatience
 Forgive my wounding and shame. 
 
 Forgive my weariness
 Forgive my misery
 Forgive my fear and control. 
 
 Forgive my faithlessness
 Forgive my doubting
 Forgive this poor, futile game.
