Forgive


Forgive the world for turning its back against those who care.

Forgive the ocean as its tide pulls you in deeper and deeper, making you feel alone.

Forgive classmates for their immaure antics. They don't know any better.

Forgive the sun as its light burns your flesh. It only meant to help.

Forgive your friends that have left you. Their season in your life has ended.

Forgive the moon for holding so many secrets from you.

Forgive your best friends who won't stand up for you. You don't need to carry that unneeded burden around with you.

Forgive the wind for blowing problems at you once you get yourself together. He wants you to become stronger.

Forgive those closest to your heart. They never meant to hurt you, no matter how much pain they put you through.

Forgive the earth for putting you on a roller of peaks and valleys. You need to learn how to climb.

Forgive yourself for the things you regret. Life goes on, you grow stronger, and you find yourself.

Forgive for yourself.

Just... forgive.
