Rising rage overwhelms me
As I think about what they did
I try to keep away from them
I keep my feelings hid
But a fire roars within me
Towards a certain few
How they judged me wrongly
And their actions, once I knew
I feel my fury soaring
As I put words to pain
Stifled emotions evolve
Over and over again
The hurt I feel inside
Is as fresh as the day it dawned
And the love I thought was real
I've well and truly mourned
Innocence and dignity
Got me through that time
I always had a peace of mind
I didn't commit a crime
And to all the people,
Who put me through that pain
I hope you learned enough to know
You wouldn't do that again
Forgiving can be hard to do
It's now time to let go
And bear no more angry scars
I need to let love flow
Today I close the door behind
I forgive, let go and forget
And take from those tough few months
My hardest lessons yet
A very well penned and poignant write that shows the heart and talent you got! Keep it up! Thanks for sharing,10+++ Love and Peace for always! ...
I've been through the same as you.It comes back to me at times and Ican't forgive.
Ah, Vanessa: When one realizes that you can forgive and not forget, that is when one learns from those tears that must be shed on our journey to maturity. Glad you liked my poem -Brush Strokes. Try -Lies- and see if you don't get a chuckle because that was my intention. Adeline
A remarkable write, Vanessa. Until one can truly forgive those who have done them wrong, the wrongdoers retain some control over ones emotions. When forgiveness occurs, they lose all that control and one's spirit is again free. Forgiveness = Victory, but it's never an easy thing to do...A 10 indeed. Richard
