True Forgiveness

What I most fear is-
People’s response that makes me feels guilty
When people get mad for some reason because of me-
When I try to tell people what is the correct thing to do.

I trust myself
I know I am doing the right thing
But why, why do I need to be treated-
Like I had done something wrong-

I feel so stupid- 
When I turn away-
From the righteousness-
Just because they said something mean…

Forgiving is always the right answer-
Otherwise I will get so difficult -
With caged between guilty and integrity-
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good (Rome12:21)

Don’t say “I am sorry!” You are never wrong!
Believe in yourself! And forgive them in your heart-
As how Christ always forgive us.
 Forgive with a good heart.

Then I realize this was only a start of life.-
To become an adult-
