FORGIVENESS STARTS WITH YOU
DO YOU KNOW THAT IS TRUE
FORGIVE YOURSELF FIRST
BEFORE YOU JUST BURST
HOLDING FEELINGS IN
YOU WILL NEVER WIN
RESENTMENT CAN CAUSE PAIN
BUT LET ME EXPLAIN
YOU'RE HARDEST ON YOURSELF
MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE
Author's Notes/Comments:
i'M ALWAYS HEARING ABOUT FORGIVING BEING A GOOD THING TO DO. THEY SAY YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO TALK TO TTHE PERSON YOU ARE FORGIVING...THAT IT'S MORE FOR YOU THAN THEM. FOR ALL YOU KNOW THEY AREN'T EVEN SORRY OR MAYBE NOT AWARE OF THE PAIN THEY CAUSED YOU. WHAT I DON'T HEAR THEM SAY IS FORGIVE YOURSELF FIRST BEFORE ANYONE ELSE. I THINK WE ARE HARDEST ON OURSELVES. WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES. WE ALL TRUST THE WRONG PEOPLE SOMETIMES. I THINK IF WE OWN UP TO OUR OWN CHOICES THAT GOT US IN THOSE SITUATIONS AND THEN JUST FORGIVE YOURSELF FIRST OR EVEN NOT HAVE TO FORGIVE ANYONE ELSE CUZ ONCE YOU CAN DO THAT YOU SHOULD FEEL RELIEF AND RELEASE ...JUST A THEORY THAT CAE TO ME TODAY SO I THOUGHT TO WRITE A POEM ABOUT IT.
