The oracle of forgiveness





Yes you hurt me
Did you do it intentionally 
Did you disregard my feelings 
Because it was only you
You wanted to please
Did it make you feel stronger
A matter of you are right
I was wrong
Did you try to prove a point
Only to realize with me genuinely 
I don't think 
You ever really belonged
I forgive you
I release you eleven times over to myself 
I will not carry bitterness or anger
Allowing myself to be begrudgingly put away up on 
On a shelf
I do forgive you
