I can refuse to forgive
I can continue to hold
on to my resentment
and wallow in my wounds

But it is I
who carry the burden
It is I
who live with the pain

The anger becomes
a poison within
Forgiveness
the only remedy

Forgiveness does not
condone the injustice
It just prevents another
from occurring
