Forgive

Admittedly, to forgive is not always easy
But it is, without a doubt, very liberating
Not forgiving only increases the pain, hurt and stress
But forgiveness begins the healing process
Forgiveness is an act of self-love,
because you do it for you and not them.

Samson and Delilah

In the story, Samson is said to lose his power when his hair is cut, breaking his vow.

I think he was wrong about his hair, and the actual source of his power was his love.

I think he lost his power the moment he realized Delilah had betrayed him.

Not when she betrayed him, nor when she cut his hair, but only once he realized what she had done, see?

So at the end of the story, when Samson gets his strength back, it happens not because he grows his hair, but because he forgives Delilah.

His hair was only a metaphor for his faith (in God, love, women, and Delilah in particular)...

Anyway, I'm growing my hair out.

*Edit - I wanted it to be clear this was about forgiveness, not betrayal. <3

Nature.

Stop waiting for fair
Stop trying to forgive
Nature is beautiful
And savage
And in the end,
Unbeatable

She will continue
With
Or without you.
She does not stop
To tally the ways we've broken her
She does not stop
To try to understand our actions
She understands
That the motions around her
Are out of her control
And she simply has too much
To keep in order
To pay attention to us

And though our actions
Make her have to work even harder
She does what she must
And though sometimes it feels
As if we are the ones in control
We are but a chapter in her story
A chapter that changes her
Irrevocably
A chapter that hurts her
And takes her beauty
To display on our walls
But she does not stop to worry
Or to remind us
Of our roles.
She simply continues on
In the understanding
That this world is hers.

I Won't Forget Either

I will not forgive

I will not let bygones be bygones

I will not bury the hatchet

(how can I bury a weapon
when it is still embedded in my spine?)

no--

I will write poetry instead.

Contrite’

Talk not of people how very sane;
They tear and burn, they droop inflame
Figure not how soon, they drift away
They were not yours, they go astray
How fine the fickle minded brain !
It tickles, turns and rocks and rains
Inferring merely in whims and charms
Reckoning unknowing at a single disarm
Misfired flames that bring to ruins
The gentle laughter into heckled fumes
Fuming rage that never could ****
Yet, had enough to sincerely reveal
Displaced prejudice or hurtful losses
Not the flower, that I knew apostle
Sincere my wishes, apologies true
I beg, conclude and give in to you

I feel too much. I apologise all too quickly.

Forgiveness

How could it be that we let our love fall?
There were times in our life that we had it all.
As the weather got colder, my attention did shift,
but I could never be ready for this.
Yes, my attitude changed. Then you cut me so deep.
Is it possible to push a woman to cheat?
So I pray not for gold nor for worldly riches.
I pray for strength, wisdom, and forgiveness.
Did I not tell you enough how beautiful you are?
Do I deserve the bleeding of this never healing scar?
Would it be different that night if I said please don't go?
That me and the kids love you, that you're food for my soul.
But I didn't; swore and hollered with names,
Not knowing our love would never be the same.
Then you told me what happened and I started to cry,
And I felt like half of my spiritual body had died.
As much as you're sorry, should I take some of the blame?
Should I forgive and forget? Would you do the same?
Is our marriage worth saving? Have I any more to give this?
I ask the Lord for strength, wisdom, and forgiveness..

My Dear Poet Mar 2021

You Are More Than Words

“Words are everything”, said the poet
And he was willing to let them go
to continue to love her

Sin

There is no ratio of sin,
No sliding scale,
Good is good,
Bad is bad,
Sin is sin,
No matter how big or small.
But have hope!
For all sin is forgiven
When we truly repent.
So pray to your God
Seek forgiveness,
Learn from your mistake,
Then move on,
A better person than whence you start

Forgiveness

We all make mistakes
We are human,
We err,
Through wilfulness,
Through ignorance,
Through our own deliberate fault.
God forgives you.
Now all you need to do is to
Forgive yourself

Persephone Dagenhart Mar 2021

In which I have a wish

That when it's years into the future with the present feeling so far
and the past still hurting me
as it does now.

I'll know how to deal with it.

That I'll stop destroying and despising everything there is to me.

That maybe I'll finally forgive myself
and tell myself that it wasn't my fault.

That it never was and I'd believe it.

Maybe I won't be happy.
Maybe I won't ever heal.
But at least I will finally have the strength to deal with myself.

That one day I may have the strength
To love myself.

-Kore

it's a tough time
