FORGIVENESS By Antoinette Denise Johnson

FORGIVENESS

Years of past pain,

making me insane!

Your life goes on!

Yet I still hold on.

Demons creep in my mind!

Peace so hard to find,

my life, I need to live.

So you I must forgive.

Forgive you for hurting me?

That is my reality!

Forgive you for hurting me?

Yes!

I

forgive

you!

To set me free!

Comment by David Gould on February 12, 2009 at 1:45am: Forgiveness is not a comfortable feeling but a hard reality on the road to recovery.
Forgiveness without action is a hollow and meaningless concept that floats away.
Forgiveness has to be lived in the here and now each and every day in positive action.

Comment by ♥ Sara ♥ Raleiah ♥ on February 6, 2009 at 5:53pm: Dear Antoinette,
your poem is soooo delicate...
and sooo true...

Forgiveness is the beginning (although very difficult to do)...
It's a part of the detoxification we all have to go through, as human beings...
Maybe that's just the first step...
Certainly the most difficult (for me, at least)...

Than there is letting go while healing from all the traumatic experiences we endured...

Every time we can let go of some heavy ballast,
We can see sparkles of Light here and there,
Which get stronger, and thicker the more we get lighter.

We begin to enjoy Life more and more,
And finally, we complete the process,
And we retrieve our true Nature,
We get back our true Self,
Eventually, we begin to enjoy Wholeness.

We've all been born to be Happy, to enjoy LIFE and to Share IT with everybody else...
With Respect,
With Unconditional Love,
And in Peace!

I wish you Love, Light & Peace

Sara

Comment by Cris on December 30, 2008 at 11:24pm: This is true and beautifull Angel, the most dificult thing and the most wonderfull one is to forgive ofenses , from the bottom of our heart, sometimes, our enemys are more our suport for hard times, they make us to be stronger, so we can learn and grow up and help others throght our own experience. And the most important thing, we can find the real mean to our life... kiss you!
