interesting enough my fellow friends?

a poem i wrote for bible class:

Forgiven
an evil past is marked
with horrid stains of sin
the stench of a secret heart
is hidden deep within
father now i take this cup
i drink their sinful doubt
remove this dying pain
their lives could do without
forgiven on his lips
their stinging sin in his eyes
a lashing traitorous kiss
forgiven he still cries
a lurking past not marked
with suffering or shame
the offal lowly heart
bears beauty in his name
remember not this path you walked on
remember not its way or name
remember not the trap it set you
that sought to bring you shame
not the torrid ocean
that tore the heart apart
nor the crying unbeliever
who gambled for your heart
forget this path you walked on
forget its lowly way
remember now my promise
remember now your name
know that i forgave the ocean
for its horrid waves
i softened the unbeliever
my death was for your sake
forget this past behind you
for i have thrown it far
remember now my promise
remember who you are.
