Forgiveness

Painful memories.. A stinging pain An open wound that cannot heal.. Remains opened A portrait covered in glass.. The pieces of glass shattered into thousands of pieces.. Pieces of glass signify hurtful memories of being hurt by another.. A person you loved so dearly.. You held so deep in your heart.. Had done the unthinkable.. The unspeakable.. A sinking feeling of hopelessness.. The heart slowly sinking.. Sinking and sinking.. As if a ship that once sailed so effortessly, had stopped sailing.. The ship continued to sink.. The open seas were forever closed.. A sea of agony and pain.. Persistent pain .. Time after time.. A complete state of resentment and utter disgust.. Anger with a mixture of hurt and pain.. All combined together to create a toxic state of mind.. Poisened daily.. Repetative toxins frequently.. Frantically cannot endure the open wounds.. The sinking heart.. The pain and agony The poisonous toxins.. Saving myself from all the misery and pain.. Discernment of realization By just a choice.. The choice shall once again ignite the flame within myself that had burned.. Burned and faded instantly.. A making of an instantaneous choice.. Shall set me free.. The way to my freedom is.. Forgiveness.. I forgave the other.. However I truly saved myself from the bondages of my own entrapment.. Wounds cleansed and healed.. Liberation.. I am free..

Our heart can endure so much, but there are times when only forgiveness and letting go work, thank you for expressing such a tender poem. We have all been there at some time or other.
