I haven’t shared a poem with everyone in a few weeks, so here’s one I just wrote tonight on forgiveness. My first time ever writing specifically on this topic. Let me know what you think….it’s called “Forgo Forgiveness”
I’m going to forgo forgiving you
It takes too much energy to smile and
Fake and laugh in your face
And take a deep breath…
When I really want to punch you
Like the poster child of
Every blood boiling moment
I’ve ever had rolled into one…fist
Make that two
When I think of you
I’m forgoing forgiving you
My stomach churns just to look at you
And the sweetest medicine
Is watching you suffer
Oh don’t look at me and point your fingers
Many of you bathe in this same acid
The ph balance of your soul is off kilter
So when you cleanse your self
And make it out unscathed
Then come tell your truth
Until then I’ll forgo forgiving you too
Oblivious to the fact that you’ve moved on
While I’m still stuck here holding
On to jagged, crusty edges of memories
That only pierce my existence
Until I resemble a honey comb
Holy, but not full of praise
You are worthy and I am out of place
Out of touch with reality
And missing the clear picture
Forgiveness ain’t all about the listener
We must not forgo the element
That pertains to the speaker
