Looking in the mirror,
I had a word with the self, last night…
In every word there reflected regret,
The regret of underestimating the self…
In the world of showoff,
I often degraded myself,
Just a single comparison done by me,
Often left my confidence all in vain…
I know my weaknesses,
But I am not unaware of my strengths too…
Every weakness I wear,
I can change it into my armor,
Armor full of weakness-turned-strengths…
Looking right into my eyes,
I apologized to myself for letting world defeat me…
For I was capable of winning,
If only I had invested more in self-belief than in doubts….
Having realized that,
I choose to forgive myself…
For I and nobody else,
Will take my tantrums
And
Work for improving me…

Forgiving oneself is important part of 12 step recovery. I am not there yet but I do take some respite in knowing I would not act in such ways from now on.
