I was wronged. Preacher man told me to forgive. But he doesn't get it. I'm not about to say its ok. I'm not about to say I'll forget. I'm not about to say it wasn't wrong. Power will not be there's.
Who knew the joke was on me.
It did not stay stagnant but grew. It simmered till it boiled. The dull colors became bold. Anger. Bitterness. Emotions so engrained they become second nature.
Unforgiveness has no time limit. It will be devoted to you. Stay with you till the end. Accompany you to your grave. Become a third party in every relationship.
Craziest part is you don't forgive in fear of losing control yet your refusal to deal with it ultimately controls you. The memories. The people. Dictate you.
True freedom comes only to those who forgive. It does not justify it. It does not make it right. It does not mean you will forget.
It says goodbye to the bitterness. Goodbye to the anger. Goodbye to the past. The old is gone and the new has come. It says chains are broken. It says hello to a bright future. It says amen to change.
Unforgivness keeps you on your kness. Forgiveness raises you to your feet.
I will choose to stand tall. I will choose the cross.
