I Forgive You

I forgive you, not because you deserve forgiveness

I do because I don’t deserve to be soaked up in sorrows.

I forgive you, not because I owe you love and affection

I do because I owe myself sympathy and compassion.

I forgive you, not because you promised to change

I do because I promised to move on in new direction.

I forgive you, not because you are speaking the truth

I do because I cannot lie to my innocent soul any further.

I forgive you, not because I have a generous heart

I do because I don’t want hatred to fill my heart.

I forgive you, not because you ought to liberate your guilt

I do because I ought to uncage my thoughts.

I forgive you, not because I accepted your justification

I do because I am tired with those excuses of yours.

So have the privilege of obtaining my forgiveness for I want to set my soul free from your thoughts.
