i carried the weight of resentment,
a stone in my chest, cold and heavy,
hate burned so fiercely it blinded me,
every thought of you ignited a fire.
i was lost in a sea of hurt,
sadness and anger clouding my vision,
the world a blur of pain,
unable to see beyond the storm.
but slowly, light began to seep through,
a crack in the wall of my fury,
i started to see the edges of truth,
a perspective i had never known.
understanding came in fragments,
the rage still simmering, but softer,
resentment loosening its grip,
each breath a step toward release.
when i forgave you, it felt like exhaling,
a breath held for too long,
the weight lifted, a sudden lightness,
a burden gone that i didn't know i endured.
i began to see the good in the thick of the bad,
like flowers blooming in a storm,
their petals delicate yet resilient,
surviving the harshest winds.
forgiveness was not forgetting,
but it was freeing,
a path to peace in a tumultuous world,
a chance to find merit in the wilted.
