To forgive is to forget

How can I

It runs deep

The anger inside of me-

It’s taken away most sunny days

Leaving me more afraid

To scared to trust what others say

To forgive is to release

The brokenness in me

The past, the pain

The flinching with the shame

The fear of loud noises

Or people taller than me

Who will I be?

Maybe it will release

Who I believe, I know myself to be…..
