Healing Abuse By Forgiving

How to repair what you tore away Embedded each detail, causing dismay Anger, resentment, an eye for an eye Lingering doubt while questioning why Imminent danger, enticed to strike back Numbing distortion, white's painted black Grief over innocence, stolen by you Aged 20 years, yet so little I grew Buried a secret, too much to bear Unable to keep down, disclose do I dare? Searching I look for serenity's road End all this chaos, I have to unload But how can I heal a pain that's vein-deep? Years of denial, I spoke not a peep Forgive, I must do this, I cannot ignore Open old wounds to heal at my core Remember the child that I used to be Grieve for that loss, set my anger free Invite all my demons, destroy their sick game Value myself, redirect blame Imagine direction then let myself go Navigate forward while taking it slow Gift of forgiving will heal me I know...
