Why you did those things I would never know,
But I do know why I stayed.
I stayed because of hope,
Hope that you would do those things no longer.
But you did,
Over and over I was used,
Pushed around,
Stepped on,
Bullied.
You did absolutely nothing...
Yet I still forgive you.
I forgive you for when you got mad and spread rumors.
For when you pushed me down.
For when you refused to listen.
Because I am going to be the better person.
I am going to ignore the whispers,
Stand back up,
And talk even if you won't listen.
For I don't want to be like you.
I don't want to put others down.
I don't want to have people fear me.
I don't want to be the person who holds grudges.
Who doesn't appreciate life.
I want to be the light that takes someone from going into the darkness.
The person who makes even the saddest person happy.
The person that helps whoever needs it.
So again I say;
I Forgive You.
