Forgiveness

I want you to know
I forgive you
For everything you put me through
I forgive you
Did you hear me
Do my words enter
your thick skull
Does their meaning
penetrate your thick skin
Do you understand what I saw
Do you comprehend
what I mean
I forgive you
Even though you hurt me
I forgive you
Forever and always
I forgive you
Even though you never respected me
or anybody else
I want you to know
I still respect you
and so I forgive you
All the pain, rage, hate and tears
The fears of adolescent, over-competitive peers
Bitter rivalries, and betrayal
That have consumed, utterly wasted away your life over the years
Trying to maintain control
Manipulate everyone else's lives
to fit your own design
I forgive you for all your crimes
against me
Against Mankind
Against Nature
Against Life
Against Christ
Against God
I forgive you
as He does too
Maybe one day
You will forgive us too
and I will get over
being You.
