Not easy to forgive and forget
when the “truth” you’ve been asked to believe is really a lie
Even your name has turned out to be a lie
There’s a volcanic rage within me that wants to erupt
Erupt with a vengeance...
to what purpose I say...no one will take notice
A different direction I will take
A direction instilled in me as a child
I will reach into the depths of my heart to find that tiny voice that speaks to me of forgiveness...
that is what I was taught as a child...to find it in your heart to forgive
Not all of me says to NOT forgive...
I am forgiving.
You are forgiven...
NOW YOU CAN REST IN PEACE!
I cannot forget the pain
I cannot forget the humiliation
That is a constant reminder I cannot forget...
That will take a lot of strength I do not have to give at this time...
Perhaps when I’m summoned to leave these earthly surroundings...
When I am summoned to join all who have been summoned and have departed before me
Perhaps only then I can forget and let bygones be bygones
When we’re old and childlike...
Perhaps then I will remember what I was taught...and only then to
FORGIVE and FORGET
