"I’ve been told that I should forgiveeveryone who has ever hurt me,loved me in the wrong..."

“

I’ve been told that I should forgive

everyone who has ever hurt me,

loved me in the wrong ways,

broke promises without explanations

and who have made me feel

as though trust is just another

made-up word for those who use it

in their own advantage.

Well I have forgiven the one

who fractured my heart for his own

and I have made mends with those

who use apologies to sleep more

soundly during the night,

and now that I have moved past

the chapters of my life that have been

filled with sorrow and self-consciousness,

I am ready to forgive myself.

So I am saying sorry to my skin

for always writing out blame on its

surface and I am finally mending

all the broken pieces within myself

that always thought they were

the ones that needed to change

in-order for them to be loved

in the right way.
