A forest in my eyes

Far more than a speck,
a log barring my vision,
blind in the world
a forest in my eyes
keeping me from seeing
the weight of my sin
clearly, without excuses,
knowing what I have done
against God and others
blind to the pain
I have caused so many…
 
A forest in my eyes
logs, leaves, and branches,
dirt on the roots
those that have been planted
saplings and vines
brush and thorns aplenty
sins that I carry
binding me, blinding me,
shackled in chains
of my own making,
A cataract of wood, of sin…
