FORGIVENESS

remember all the things that transpired,
finding it difficult to have the animosity retired.
all the rage and hurt that's kept you awake,
with forgiveness being the hardest thing to fake.
you try to reset the past,
hoping the tension wont last.
yet the pain is hard to ignore!
while for more trust they implore!
as you continue to give...
making it harder to live.
you try as hard as you can,
yet they just bring you down again.
how is it your supposed to release,
this pain before your heart begins to cease.
you try and try to block it out.
leaving a little voice inside left to pout,
you go on about your way.
your trust they continue to slay.
now things start to be clear,
as you realize you cant live in fear.
if you choose not to forgive,
you become paralyzed unable to live.
forget about the things they've done!
NO!instead their actions you shun,
with a new outlook you have begun
