I Want To Forgive You

I want to forgive you but the shadows of your words haunt me like an unending storm. I remember the nights when your anger roared louder than the thunder outside, shaking the very foundation of my self-worth. The way you shattered my spirit, piece by fragile piece, still echoes in my dreams.

I want to forgive you but the wounds seen and unseen are etched so deeply in my heart, they seem to resist any notion of time and healing.

I want to forgive you but the sting of your hands on my skin lingers like a deep cut, reminding me of the countless moments when your promises of change were nothing more than fleeting illusions. I recall the hollow apologies, the brief moments of peace that were always followed by another storm.

I want to forgive you but the image of your control still casts a long shadow over my sense of freedom. The way you dictated my every move, the suffocating grip of your dominance, I am still in this cage where escape seems to elude me.

I want to forgive you but the isolation you inflicted on me is a void that I struggle to fill. The silence that was once filled with your harsh criticism and coldness is now a space I am struggling to fill with my own voice.

I want to forgive you but the fear you instilled in me still lurks and creeps at the edges of my soul. The anxiety that gripped me when you were near, the constant worry about your next outburst, is a shadow I am still trying to outshine.

I want to forgive you, I can and I will. As I stand on the threshold of self-discovery, I feel the exhilarating breeze of independence on my face. I am embracing the freedom to make choices for myself, and to explore my passions and dreams. Your reign of fear can no longer stifle me.

I want to forgive you, I can and I will. I am stepping away from your darkness into the light of new beginnings. I am learning to trust again, to believe that kindness and laughter are not just distant dreams but tangible realities waiting to embrace me.

I want to forgive you, I can and I will. My journey of healing is one of hope and promise of a brighter, gentler tomorrow. Each scar, each tear, has woven strength and growth in my mind and soul.

I want to forgive you, I can and I will. I have begun to find solace in laughter and warmth that were once foreign to me. My heart is mending, and I am discovering the beauty of belonging.

I want to forgive you, I can and I will. I am stepping into the sunlight of my own strength, finding courage in the small victories that my day brings. I am learning to live and love without the shackles of your fear, embracing a future where I am free to soar.

I want to forgive you, I can and I will. New adventures await me, the beautiful possibilities of a life untainted by you.
