Unforgivable For Now

A stranger knowing nothing says, “forgive”
Evil acts, unforgivable for now
He speaks of something that he did not live

A person’s life misunderstood somehow
No apologies, still trying to cause harm
Evil acts, unforgivable for now

No conscience just lies, causing more alarm
There is justice for a reason by law
No apologies, still trying to cause harm

A stranger didn’t witness what I saw
In the end it will be God who decides
There is justice for a reason by law

There are reasons for where my heart resides
My right is to choose with whom I confide
In the end it will be God who decides

I have a right to my voice or to hide
A stranger knowing nothing says forgive
My right is to choose with whom I confide
He speaks of something that he did not live

Tim Smith Date: 9/18/2017 10:15:00 AM Wonderful Heidi....life's too short to worry about these individuals that lurk in the shadows...smile and be free Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 9/18/2017 11:37:00 AM Hi Tim. You are so right! Thank you for your kind comment :)

Silent One Date: 9/18/2017 7:58:00 AM A well written poem Heidi, very deep and emotive.. There are always three sides to every story, it always best to listen to two sides, the third is a combination.. Sadly too many insincere people around, who plead innocence when they are the ones who are causing the problems.. Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 9/18/2017 9:34:00 AM Thank you for your comment and feedback Silent One.

Gary Smith Date: 9/18/2017 7:56:00 AM A heartfelt write Heidi, good luck in the contest :) Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 9/18/2017 7:57:00 AM Thank you Gary :)

Lin Lane Date: 9/18/2017 6:38:00 AM I agree with Jan's comments, Heidi. I've always found that the one who tries to convince you that he/she is the innocent party is the one who is guilty. Whereas the person(s) who do not plead their case is innocent and has no need to defend him or herself. Your words are on target, but we must take care that we do not place that target on the back of the innocent. Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 9/18/2017 6:48:00 AM Hi Lin. Thank you for your visit and comment on this. That's correct about taking care that we do not place any target on the backs of innocent.

Mike Hauser Date: 9/17/2017 7:55:00 PM Nice! Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 9/18/2017 6:47:00 AM Thank you Mike :)

Jan Allison Date: 9/17/2017 5:41:00 PM I also wrote on unforgivable Heidi and I totally agree with every word you wrote. There are some wicked deeds committed and it is all too easy for people to say you should forgive and forget - its easy for them as they were not involved and not suffering the trauma that can stay with a person for life :-( Hugs jan xx Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 9/18/2017 6:49:00 AM Yes it is very sad to be taken in by a convincing liar. Jan Allison Date: 9/18/2017 3:45:00 AM True Heidi but there are sometimes two sides to a story and it is so easy to be taken in by a convincing liar:-( hugs jan xx Heidi Sands Date: 9/17/2017 5:43:00 PM Thank you for your understanding comment Jan. I fully appreciate it! And Also, there are those who have committed acts, never owned up to anything and are still causing harm at the present time. Very complex. Take care!

Russell Sivey Date: 9/17/2017 5:16:00 PM It's one of the toughest things we as humans can do is forgive! And your poem explains a lot of your heartache with your situations you've been through! I feel for you my friend, I hope you can forgive someday, but until then, do your best to get through each day! I surely loved reading your amazing poem here this afternoon! This is a rather exceptional write, such a well thought out piece, Great Work!! Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 9/17/2017 5:38:00 PM Thank you so much Russell. I hope you are having a nice Fall day today. :)
