I Forgive Them

I forgive my antagonist from the beginning to end, there are so many my heart never did mend. From a time way back when only I remember, left my heart chilled like the month of December. I never knew why I was hazed and hassled so; so I write to forgive you so that I may let go. Writing of this takes me back and angers me; vivid and sharp are the memories of torture to me. Set afire one time held and beaten on another the memories I have you don’t wish on each other. So I write this short verse, wishing you well without curse. Immersed in pain and solitude I will not be construed given the time all this happened I should have lost this attitude. I forgive you all without a doubt leaving it in the hands of the Lord he has all my clout. There’s no need for me to search and take you out… James C Bryant Jr. July 15, 2010
