Tell Me

Tell Me, How do I forgive them?

Tell me, how do I forgive them?

When every fiber of my being

Is screaming out in anger and pain

How do I let go of this resentment?

The wounds they caused are deep and raw

The scars run deep, the hurt still gnaws

My heart feels heavy, burdened with grief

How do I find the strength to forgive?

Their words and deeds have left a mark

A stain upon my soul, so dark

I cannot fathom why they did what they did

How do I move past this and forgive?

Do I confront them, let them know the pain they caused?

Or do I let it go, and move on, at any cost?

It seems so hard, so impossible, to forgive

But the alternative is to let bitterness live.

Perhaps forgiveness is not for them, but for me

A way to set my heart and soul free

To release the hurt, the pain, the sorrow

And move on to a brighter tomorrow.

So I take a deep breath, and I let it go

I release the anger, the hurt, the woe

I choose to forgive, to set myself free

And in doing so, I find peace and serenity.

Tell me, how do I forgive them?

I do it for myself, to find healing within

I choose to let go of the pain and strife

And live a life free from the chains of resentment's hold.

It's not an easy path, this road to forgiveness

It takes time, patience, and a willingness

To let go of the past, and embrace the present

To forgive, but not forget, and learn a lesson.

For when we hold onto anger and hate

We only harm ourselves, and seal our own fate

But when we choose forgiveness and grace

We open our hearts to a better place.

It's not about excusing what they've done

Or pretending that the hurt is gone

It's about acknowledging the pain they caused

And choosing to move on, without a pause.

So if you're struggling to forgive, like I once did

Know that it's possible, and it starts with a bid

To let go of the hurt, and embrace the light

To choose forgiveness, and let it take flight.

For in the end, it's not about them, but you

And the peace and healing that come into view

When you choose to forgive, and let go of the past

And move forward with love, and hope, and a steadfast.

So tell me, how do you forgive them?

It's up to you, my friend, to choose when

But know that when you do, you'll find a way

To live a life that's free, and bright, and full of grace.
