How am I to?

How am I

 to find

  forgiveness

in my heart?

so much

 resentment…

All for you

 and you

  and you

  and you

 and you—

all of you.

You’ve hurt me

 deep.

Don’t you know?

All you’ve done

 has hurt me so.

You don’t acknowledge

 what you’ve done.

Don’t think

 anything is wrong

with treating me

 to such degree

no one could withstand

 but me.

It has hurt me

 to the bone—

it’s in my gut

 and hips,

you know.

Each time

 that I see your face

I tense up—

 heart starts

  to

   race.

Afraid of you

 I do

  become…

when you see me,

 the fight is on.

How am I

 to find

  forgiveness

in my heart?

so much

 resistance.
