Cognizance

It took me a while;
   there were bunch of bruises, 
   too much punishment,
   and bloody judgment,
   much worse, the self-inflicted karma,
before the pain eases -

   to finally allow myself permission to forgive

   to they became scars
   that is imprinted in my body and soul 
which I look  forward to somebody who dares to do the same thing 
   For oneself to feel too much won't be life-long
