Forgiveness

To err is human

To forgive is divine
A grudging heart never know
Itself it has imprisoned
Dark it has become
From the smokes of hate
It is hurt and broken
From grief deep within
Sorrowful from not letting go
In the stance, many blessings forego

But forgiveness
Is something else
It frees you from the grasp
Of hate and regret
It eludes the darkness inside
With colourful rays of sunshine
It brings with it boldness
Self confidence and unearthly happiness
At first, it might hurt badly
To let go of a wrong so heinous
But revenge at times is regretful
More importantly, it makes you
Not so different from the culprit
Yea! Forgive those who hurt you
But most of all
Forgive yourself for letting them hurt you
