"If we don't forgive, we are stuck in the past. not letting God create us a future"


Even though you have tried
Broke me with every slash of your words
Burned me with every snicker at my clothes
with every whisper behind me

Even though you made me even resent myself
pushed me while i was falling
took everything you could away from me
Only left me to my tears and my pain

It hurt when I cried
It pained when I felt your wrath
I still smile when I look in the mirror
I still stand up after your every lashing

I may not be able to mean anything to you
But I mean a lot to me
so there for I rise above my pain
letting you go from my fears

you are not hated
you are not cursed
you are no longer apart of me
a lost thought with the wind

you may have harmed me
but I grow and age with maturity
and all wounds heal in time
so i won't hold the scars forever

I wanted to display a feeling of hurt to the point of breaking but even though all has been done,find the strength to forgive not for the other person, but for yourself
