Curse of Being Right

Even when I am clouded by judgments,

Seeing only what serves my predetermined conclusions,

Blame is a self-fulfilling prophecy,

Eating from the forbidden fruit of right and wrong.

For I am a vessel of endless forgiveness.

Or if I banish myself from myself,

I might be isolating in loneliness,

But I am right.
