Poem
A Letter To The Debtor To those I've hurt and all I've wronged, I never before accepted where I belonged. I could apologize but I'm not sure that even matters now. Maybe those who hear this will realize that I'm truly sincere and will find it in their heart to forgive me somehow. Like anyone does, I needed a place to start to begin a transformational change of heart. I can say with absolute certainty, I will never again be who I was. For the unforgiving in nature, that will likely never be enough. Well, I'm not standing here for you to challenge me. I don't need to prove to you what you've demanded to see or that I'm tough. Sit back in my shoes and think as much. You'll start to see as such. You've mocked me once. You've mocked me twice. You look both ways and try to play nice. You smile and wave but I've seen how each of you behave. You say you care and that you understand, but you stab me with the other hand. It's nice to discover all you really had planned. I forgive but I don't forget. That doesn't mean I hold a grudge. However, you are not who I answer to and you are absolutely not my judge. Haven't you heard? I stick to my word. What you see is what you do. I learned that from watching you. It doesn't take a scientist to decide where to place my honor and where to place my fist. The citizens of the four corners of this earth don't seem to value their worth. It's a trend you can't hind and a culture you can't pretend. Just look at it from the inside. Smile for a while with your arms open wide. It's a slippery slope to learn which way to slide. Two directions will often collide when the rite of passage is denied. Hold your head up high and hold on to your pride. Let dignity be your guide. Don't push an open mind and heart aside. I cried when I nearly met death as it died. A new way of life quite literally implied. You're truly alive if you know where you'll arrive. It's a message well worth received to the deserving who have already believed. Here is one final word to those who have truly heard: Conceive, believe, and you will entirely achieve.
