everybody talks about forgiveness being the right way
letting go of your anger and having all good things to say
forgiveness is the only path to your certain victory
letting your anger go up in smoke is how to be set free
but i'm done forgiving the bastards who loved to make me weep
because they robbed me of peace whether I'm awake or asleep
and i'll be god damned if i'm going to turn the other cheek
their sick, twisted game is one that I'm no longer gonna play
all i ever really wished was for them to let me be
don't owe it to no one to forgive those who abuse and creep

You too are right in your thoughts.. to forgive or to not depends on how the situation is tackled ..
ReplyDeleteYes, this. Insisting on forgiveness can sometime just serve to perpetuate the harm.
ReplyDeleteWow! A powerful poem - the words fairly leap off the page!
ReplyDeleteTurning the other cheek is not always advisable!
