I was trying to forgive,
while you were trying to forget.

we, humans, are so strange-
we fall in love so easily,
we hurt so easily
yet we won’t forgive as easily

My heart broke and it bled over a few people,
but I couldn't stay to clean up the mess I'd made.
So, we bathed
in blood
in porcelain tubs
and laughed and lied,
and it was enough.

Everyone is messy sometimes and it's kind of alright

It's easy to forgive,
So much harder to forget.


Just a thought.
Someone asked me to forgive them..and I did. But that doesn't mean I'm suddenly going to shower them in flowers or welcome them into open arms.
I forgave that person, but not because they deserved forgiveness, but because I deserved peace.
Don't remember who said that.

I once had no direction,
I felt so very lost;
My sorrow came with a price,
my misery, with a cost.
~
I longed to find a purpose,
in this crazy world I lived;
A place where I belonged,
somewhere that I fit in.
~

Then one day I met the Lord,
Forgiver of men's sins;
The One who truly loves me,
the One who helps me live.
~
I asked Him to forgive me,
I asked Him in my life;
He then became my Savior,
and I became His Bride.
~
Jesus is my Lord of Lords,
I gave everything to Him;
He laid His life down for me,
and washed away my sins.

the air breathes
upon my fingertips
waiting for it
to be held

the sea watches me
as if it wanted
to wrap its waves
around my body

I looked down
the eartch ready
to swallow and
absorb me

I staggered consciously
I’ve been floating
I’ve been drowning
I’ve been falling

But I percieved
It was only the
blue sky that loved me

It’s slowly drifting away
turning into gray
until its gone
and its too late

If only I was there for you, Mom

I wanted to revenge but God whispered;
"They are already suffering".

If someone has broken your heart
Don't let them rob you of the pieces
Holding a grudge against them or
not letting go of the wrong they did you
Is you literally handing them
the pieces of your broken heart
It's okay to feel pained, it's fine to cry but
Don't let them deposit hate in you
(I know it's easier said than done but)
Let go...
Rebuild the broken pieces like a puzzle
Build something even more beautiful
'cause the loss is theirs and not yours
Don't let them bring you down, stand TALL
Above all, protect your joy and happiness!
Forgive, forget, learn, move on, be better

My footsteps are too loud,
they shout.
Maybe I should keep my voice down;
head, down.
Yet, frown
kept up
the right way round.

No wonder I feel upside-down.
Don’tbeatyourselfupoveryourmistakes,
we all learning.

P.s. didn’t realise that some people I know actually read this so shout out if that’s you x

I want you to learn about forgiveness
I want you to tell your mother you know she didn't mean to project all of her emotions on you
that she was only your age when she had you and you are still learning too
tell her that you love her, that the best parts of you came from her
I want you to call your dad
I know hearing his voice makes you clench your fists
I know your muscles still hate him even when your heart says you don't
tell him the way his absence had you crying on your bathroom floor before you knew what a panic attack was
tell him the reasons why you blame him for the way you love
then tell him you forgive him
you forgive him even though he never asked you to, you forgive him for yourself
I want you to make a list of every person that's ever wronged you
I want you to burn it and I want you to wish them well
the kind of love you've found, pure and warm
there is no room for resentment in a heart like yours
and then I want you to forgive yourself
even if you feel like you don't deserve it
be gentle with your mind, give yourself a place to rest
you are doing far better than you think
