Forgiveness

Filled with resentment
Burning with anger
I keep a tight grasp on my feelings
With no room for peace to enter

But it’s hurting, all too painful
Deeper than I remember the abuse to be
Eating up at my life
Inhibiting all chances of bliss  

I expected more, deserved better
Where was the love I sought?
All I got was the abuse
And now I’m living in the aftermath

I want to soak up the joy
But I keep drinking the poison
I need to let go and breathe
Release us both from my heart’s prison

I see you now with compassion
You could not do better
But alas, I can and I will
I shall live with mercy in my heart

I have forgiven the universe
And the universe has given me serenity
