Forgiveness

When can I forgive you Mother
For driving away without
Looking back
Without saying goodbye

When can I forgive you father
For not being there
For making me believe
You actually cared

When can I forgive you ex
For ripping my hair out
As you flung me to the ground and
Beat my head against the rocks

When can I forgive you God
For not
Keeping me from harm

When can I forgive you Grandpa
For kicking me in the back
As you were kicking me
Off the porch

When can I forgive you Grandma
For whipping my legs
Till they bled

When can I forgive you God
For not keeping me
From harm

When can I forgive
Me
For believing I did
Something wrong

When can I forgive
Me
For being afraid

When can I forgive
Me
For not thinking
I had a choice
