Keep Fighting

it’s worth 
not giving in
not giving up
how I yearn
for fortitude
to overtake my heart
and release dark thoughts 
and stormy clouds
that fill my sky
and weigh me down
how I pray for 
sunny days
of freedom

Great poem. My biggest struggle in life is my unforgivness. I may be right in being angry but my unforgiving heart is wrong. I say I forgive and wait for a good feeling and it does not come. I must trust God to read my heart and know I have forgiven that person. It is a divine thing. I once heard a good quote that holding a grudge is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die.

Forgiveness helps the forgiver more than the one who did the deed, Line, so try to do it if you can.
