Forgiveness


Between our passing you may not have meant to take me out but the pain that you imposed quite deliberate about also pointedly depicting your face shy of weary because carnal worth has told you power's most endearing Following your braking desire naturally came about to regain vengeful justice excommunicate and shut out but the problem with revenge is that it requires time preparing and formulating only leads the heart the more to caring Instead Psalms became my poetry meditating a piece of your art "I will not tolerate he who has haughty eyes and a proud heart." But I deduced from my unforgiveness is your presence remaining and to allow existence is by definition tolerating The heart not on the sleeve but pain crosses each path without exclusion and is probably what's responsible for how. Harmful retaliation can be served to the undeserving when humanity pours out from experience in its hurting. Pain can lead to spreading of poison from heart to heart and I was sorry when I learned that you had some scars. You're human too, so I heed God's rebuke on back biting It was not me watching the nights that you spent crying. Furthermore not to cast the stone holds more than your bail out it is my life also this liberation is about bitterness is a tie and reminds of your bruising I'm not hitting back because I'm choosing to be free. I fancy forgiveness inclusive guilty I have been found life is one long lesson and no ones potential yet fully sound. A strong person can absorb the offenses of the week knowing our own short comings pardon our follies mutually.
