                                                  Exhale 
unburden your chest 
unshackle yourself from ancient grudges 
what has passed 
is already gone with the wind 

You need not erase the hurt entirely 
let it temper you instead 
refine yourself 
beyond the specters 
that still trail your shadow 

Clutching resentment 
is a slow intoxication 
a bitter toxin in the blood 
more insidious 
than any fever 
caught in the wild 

Release your enemies 
from the altar of your anger 
forgiveness is not a surrender to defeat 
it is a declaration 
to rise to greater heights
