The Hardest Forgiving Slant
<|>
9:19am Fri Sept 22 2023 ~ 8:02am Fri Sep 29 2023
commenced during the Ten Days of Awe
<|>
we debase our language daily,
robbing the spectacular majesty [example]
of awe with the common overusing
vernacular of “awesome”
especially forgiveness is degraded,
we utter “I’m sorry” trippingly,
costless, less than cheap, with even the
snap-on veneer (1) of sincerity discarded,
but move on to the next rudeness
but today I will not permit myself
an easy letting-off-the-hook, no shifting
of blame to anonymity, or fast forward to tomorrow,
when we can obfuscate our intrepid
dishonesty one more time…again
to forgive those who have injured us,
not that hard, or the judging deities,
who silently wink and nod, but offer
no certitude beyond trying, itself a
maybe, maybe not, truly tiring this
trying tacking the constant requests
so first an etymology explication on
the tension inherent that very word,
f o r g i v e
As a word, as a sensed,
intuitively-
it is a
Perfect Continuous Infinitive! (2)
to
forgive is
perfect,
to forgive is
continuous,,
to forgive is
infinite!
what a marvelous, perpetual
past, present and always futuristic
word (alas)
The Hardest Forgiving?
to forgive oneself
so nearer to impossible,
the first responders doing triage,
leave people like me for last,
as it a unconditional condition
with no cure that can be effected
indeed, by our very affect,
they instant diagnosis seeing our
very gestures, body language, or ****** expressions,
all reveal the hopelessness of
the never-to-be-given-grace,
among us
for a thousand years,
I have tried and failed to forgive myself
for the worst I’ve done,
and there is no sword or club,
blood-letting,
that can dispatch the onerous burden I carry
so I write poetry,
a salve that offers
temporary relief,
while I write,
imposed a
momentarily distracting,
a kind of dusting of self~spin,
that chills myself
just until
the, this!
poem is finished,
the slant is drawn

Tell all the truth but tell it slant —
BY EMILY DICKINSON
Tell all the truth but tell it slant —
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth's superb surprise
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind —

The hardest lesson to learn
Is that hiding your feelings
Protects no one.
The hardest thing to accept
Is that you don't need to protect anyone.

The hardest thing to do,
being strong,
for everyone else

Since young I don’t really get it why do people cry or get disappointed when they’re are sick
Isn’t great that we can skip school or not work?
Until I realise mine own sickness it’s life threatening and I’m here praying to god everyday, begging for help and forgive the sin I’ve done.
Gasping for oxygen, trying to walk,
Trying to be normal again but how?
Walking was the easiest but now it became the hardest.

Why the hardest person to love
is the one looking back at me
through the mirror,
I know what I hide,
I don't impress me,
I can't confound me,
But if not me, who will?

The higher you climb, the further you’ll fall,
With a mindset like that,
you will never stand tall.
What you should instead remember,
when you fight against time,
is that the best view
comes after the hardest climb

Pretending tomorrow
We'll both be different
Changed from who we are today
Actually want me to be happy
Stop clutching onto each word you say
Pretending habits don't have the best of us
We're content with a life of sobriety
Like the sound of that idea
Wish it was that easy
Pretending a wish or two comes true
The floor tossed into a pile
Like eachother but not all the time
Wish for me to smile
Pretending we can build home like before
Set against a sky of gold
Magically capable of exploring possible futures
Every desire taking hold
Pretending we will find salvation
Life just one cruel joke
Silhouettes waiting for goodbye long overdue
Death to claim what life broke
Pretending every day to try my hardest
Both know my love is a sham
Want to be a better person for you
That's just not who I am

"What you did to me is unheard of. Unspeakable. You are repulsive. Goodbye."
I can't deal with you no more.
You were my best friend.
Called me a b**** and h** and so, so much more.
At this point,
if you don't know those two words,
then you haven't been in this sort of situation.
He was my best friend.
My best friend.
It's still burned in the back of my mind.
Surprising,
isn't it,
when the person you trust the most
doesn't just bail,
but hurts you.
The person you loved the most
makes you stay up crying in bed.
The person you loved the most
makes you feel afraid of going to school
or unlocking your phone.
At this point,
I have given up.
My real friends are my old friends,
the ones everyone thought I would dump forever.
But, they always lurked in the background
of my life.
They may have been shoved to the side,
but never did they fade.
These are the friends that were by your side
through the hardest times.
Before you meet the one friend you
get crazy close with in one night and
pretend
trust grows on trees,
think about your old friends.
The ones you might be mad at for a stupid,
stupid reason.
Give them a chance.
Don't let the others fade,
just because you found a new "them."
You've replaced them.
But, the replacement will fail to serve.

here came, the hardest goodbye
see it, here comes the end
farewell soon, here comes the sunset

"I've smiled".

Hardest part of losing you was finding you again
Our relationship met a sudden end
When Winter crawled in and Fall departed
Both felt tired and broken-hearted
Wild nights that brought so much joy
Once enchanted, we no longer enjoy
We laugh but not as often
Is the magic almost forgotten?
Long ago when we were young
Captured my heart with words you sung
Letting my hair down, letting loose
Lie after lie, no excuse
But spark within was worth the pain
In darkness you took it all away
Back then we would party just to pass the time
Now do not feel normal in a sober state of mind
Could find someone else who would actually follow through
I have and my heart went right back to you

The hardest thing in the world
is loving someone who can't love
and who has never known of true love
I loved a girl who had a divergent mirror
And when she looked through that mirror
she saw things far from what they actually were
I was gonna slay dragons
and stop the time for you
But you rejected it
Somehow when I proclaimed my undying love for you
All you could hear is that I was gonna use your vulnerability
I am sorry you did not love yourself enough to let yourself see the truth

I was supposed to be happy
I left him because it was
Right
It was
Socially acceptable
But I was pulled so hard away from
You
I didn’t want to let go, and I don’t know why I’m crying
It’s over a year since you cared
I think you did
Or maybe you just wanted her,and I know she wanted you
But why does it still have to
hurt
when he moves on with her
I know I use her as a mirror
Because I don’t know how to judge anyone but the reflection
I want to smash it but
I can’t
I need it
I need to know why
And I want it to stop because it
Hurts, so bad
The first relationship shouldn’t feel like this
He was too long ago, too shallow, too blind to see you for you
So why does it
hurt
My face is still wet
And this isn’t helping

When we fall and no other attempts
to help us up.
But a enemy pulls us from our lowest point.
We know that friends are just an illusion
and enemies show there true colours
through our hardships. enemies
Being the ones who are our hardest critics,
but the first to clench
there fist is true meaning.

One of the most hardest,
Yet most rewarding things
Is to go to the one who hurt you the most
Look them in the eyes
and say
"I Forgive you"
Not only do you free them,
You free yourself from your own restraint

The hardest part of smiling
Is knowing it won't last
