FORGIVE, DON’T FORGET

Forgive and forget

Such is a sound of good advice

But one hard to follow 

Yes they ripped you apart

Broke you, cut you, left you bleeding 

You are a bunch of broken pieces 

Is there life after it all?

How normal can life be again?

Will it ever be better?

It will never be normal again

Pain will probably turn you into someone different

But life will continue, happiness is possible 

Forgive but don’t forget 

Grow through the pain

Let pain grow you into a stronger person

Forgive but don’t forget

Do not be bitter and return no evil

Remember what happened and seek a better outcome 

Look back and see where you stumbled 

Look back and see where you trusted wrongly 

Look back and see what you should have done differently 

Only then can you learn to live again

Only then can you ascertain a future without pain

Only then can you appreciate where you were and were you are
