Forgiveness (When I make it all about me)

It is scary to forgive.

It is terrifying.

 

It is a weakness in me.

It is me saying,

“there is something I need to do

for the people that do me wrong.”

It is me saying,

“I owe something to the people

that stole something from me.”

 

It is beyond the point

of deceiving myself

into thinking that I can

hold the failings of

another person over

their head.


It is easier

to forgive someone

when I like

the way they make me feel.


It is beyond the point

of thinking that by

taking something

from another person

I will be getting

something myself.

 

It is admitting that,

when I do not forgive,

I

I    I    I

am doing something wrong.
