What Makes You So Saintly?

What makes you so saintly as to judge me by my sins,

Whereas I should have forgiven, instead gave up and caved in?

I'd like to see you do differently while suppressing a fit of rage,

And don't bother patronizing me by saying it comes with age.

I know you think you're above me and in some ways that may be true,

But hating me for my repented sin shows who's better than who.

Well done. This is a short but powerful display of emotion. Way to come full circle!

Well put poet. Disregard the conceit and carry on :)
