I forgive to forget
_____
The knives in my wounds
_____
To let the anxiety slide
And to recognize the child
_____
I was in the mirror
Whether it rains, whether it snows
_____
To escape the grip
_____
I forgive the past, the future
_____
So that those who've done me
_____
I forgive, wrong or right
_____
Bitterness isn't my home
_____
Rage yes, but not resentment
_____
Anger but not spite
_____
I forgive and I want to hope
_____
That they can forgive me too
I forgive you, I forgive myself
But I remember everything
_____
That they made fun of me
_____
For my face, for my voice
_____
Of course it stays there
_____
But I gather the crumbs
_____
And I forgive at the top of my lungs
_____
No grudge, no debt
_____
That stayed stuck
_____
In a throat or in the air
_____
Everything I wasn't given
_____
I forgive, wrong or right
_____
Bitterness isn't my home
_____
Rage yes, but not resentment
_____
Anger but not spite
_____
I forgive and I want to hope
_____
That they can forgive me too
I forgive you, I forgive myself
But I remember everything
_____
I forgive left and right
_____
Every spark, every glimmer
_____
I forgive and I want to hope
_____
That they can forgive me too
I forgive you, I forgive myself
But I remember everything
I forgive you, I forgive myself
But I remember everything
