And how I use it is up to me,
If I use it to forgive and forget...
Then I shall truly live peacefully.
But old hurts scab over messily,
A true eyesore considering it all,
Making it difficult to forgive me...
How can I possibly forgive you?
You lied and made me a big fool,
Making an innocent act a huge felony,
What I did was all for you....
And now I see how you repay me.
But I try to act like Jesus did,
Dying on the cross, loving us still,
Proving to us all He's not easy to rid.
And I pray hard to be strong like Him.
I'm sure you completely forgot me,
And you still would've done what you did,
Making a huge scar on an innocent soul...
And maturing that poor naive kid.
But now, the past is history,
And only on my mind, for I need to forget,
For what you've done has matured me...
And now old scars must heal as I forgive.
I was given the power to forgive,
And I shall follow the Lord's footsteps,
For I know it's long past times...
And it isn't a scar to be forever kept.

"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." - Mahatma Gandhi.
True that, Gandhi, true that.
It's been years and a dream showed me that I still hold old hurts. I'm not sure how to go about it... but I must right a wrong. I must learn to forgive, no matter how difficult. Hope you like it!
