sometimes it hits you

sometimes it hits you that like it or not

you had an impact on other people

an influence on their lives

for good or ill

something you said

something you wrote

something you did

drastically changed the way they viewed the world

and subsequently the way the world viewed them

we will all be held accountable

for what we have done

of this I am certain

so let me forgive those

who influenced me badly

and pray

my sins

will be

forgiven

as well
