I forgive you
For the hurt.
For the misunderstandings and
frustrations
For the anger, for a lot of the anger
And for the tears, for all of the tears
For the scars that are visible and for
those that are not
For the trauma of emotions,
And the beatings, and the blood
For the blue thighs and cut marks
And for the great loss, in will to
live.
For the side effects I still carry with me
For the ones that I have to work through
everyday
For the counseling and the guilt.
Apparently, these are the words I need
to say
So …..
For a future that’s better than the past
and for the things I will succeed in too
I stand in front of the mirror today
To say that “I forgive you”.
