Forgiveness

The whole world longs for forgiveness,
or to be able to forgive one that has done wrong
and to feel that everything is right once again
however, not everything is solved with simple words.
That is not how the world works.
Life isn’t that simple.
and the sooner you learn this harsh fact,
the better off you will be
If you want to be forgiven, there is one main theme
you have to care
you have to realize you are wrong
you must realize that what you did,
can never be undone
and that what you did will leave a mark,
not only on the victim
but on you.
If you want to forgive,
you must keep your heart open
and you must hold your stance.
If you do not assert yourself
you will be walked on.
they wont care that they hurt you.
they will take you for granted.
And, you will still be there.
Convincing yourself that they care
If you find yourself having to always forgive them
they don’t care
they aren’t being careful as to not hurt you
they are saying things are accidents
when you both know it was purposeful
and you know that it hurts
and you know that you are a victim
You may chose to ignore the pain
but it is still there. It will always be
you have to let go, and it may hurt.
But you will learn
there are people who will apologize to you
and actually mean it
instead of forcing you to apologize
for something they did to you
so stop apologizing
and stand up
