Thank Forgiveness

Thank you minor ignorances and white lies

Thank you lessons learned from blue eyes

Thank you blame you've been my constant crutch

But its my turn, you've carried it long enough

Forgive me the people that I have misjudged

Those I've hurt and those I've left behind

Forgive me my misguided infatuations

For putting my all into such false destinations

Thank you male figures for the lessons you have taught

You helped me keep my heart guarded for so long

Now I know I am ready to let go

Move on to something stable, real, and whole

Thank you insanity you've been my constant friend

You kept me together with the stories that you spin

Thank you spirits you've been that voice in my ear

You've been the ones to carry me from my fear

Forgive me shadows you were only doing your job

Forgive me light for not trusting in your love

Thank the dove, the wolf, and the snake

Thank you lion for keeping my heart brave

Thank you my god for pointing me on my way

And thank you mother earth

For showing me beauty in everyday

Thank you guidance from miscellaneous sources

Thank you divinity and the hidden forces

Forgive me my burdens, for being so angry

Forgive me anger for using you as my defense

Forgive me happiness for never letting you shine

Forgive me for falling victim to circumstance

Thank you Shield for keeping me protected and warm

But I'm laying down my knives, I'm laying down my sword

Thank you truth for staying hidden deep within

Thank you temptation my only unsatisfied sin

Thank you hunger for being who I fall upon

Forgive me but I no longer need your arm

Thank you open space you've given room to flee

Until I couldn't help but run straight into the real me

Thank you closed doors for Taking me off course

So I could find this meadow to retribution without remorse

Forgive me sanity I never gave you time

To find your way back home, back behind my eyes

Thank you tears of rage you were my only peace

Thank you emptiness for helping me to find release

Forgive me destiny I thought you steered me wrong

But you were clearing the way for me all along

Thank you gift of freedom I never thought I'd see the day

When I'd look in the mirror and see you on my face

Forgive me hopelessness I no longer need your service

Oh desperation, forgive me for your loss

Im no longer in need of your hands

All my bitterness is gone

Thank you healing for showing me your light

Thank you wrong, for showing me what's right

Thank you self belief, thank you self love

I'm not quite there, but you've given me faith enough

Thank you abandon for all I've realized

Thank you for all the lonely helpless cries

You've made me strong from making me so weak

You brought me to the bottom so I could start anew from on my knees

Thank you suffocation I now appreciate my breaths

Thank you blankets, thank the comfort of my bed

Thank you mercilessness, for I am now a fighter

Thank you emotion for turning me into a writer

Thank falling behind, for making me go slow

You have helped me not to give in, you forced me to grow

Forgive me hate for giving you the ropes

When I should have been giving in and letting go

Forgive me my stubborn ways, my disregard for myself

For pushing too hard and ruining my health

Forgive me heart and blood for letting you go cold

Forgive me angels for thinking you never showed

Thank you minor ignorances and white lies

Thank you lessons learned from blue eyes

Thank you blame you've been my constant crutch

But its my turn, you've carried it long enough
