I will forgive you.

I will forgive you but you've pierced me with something so sharp all of my nerves have frayed.

I will not be broken,

I will not become a victim.

I will care for my wounds the way you never did.

I will bandage them without an ounce of selfishness.

I was never weak, I was only human and still am.

I have always been strong.

I strive to be something you never will be, me.

I will have difficult days, days where I can't see through the fog of past fears

But I will never give up hope, never.

When I close my eyes I see an abundance of light radiating through my soul.

That light has been dimmed at times but it will never be put out.

Money won't make up for the mess that you've made but I forgive you.
