xxv. letting go

15 6 3
                                    

for years,
I have carried
all this anger
inside of me

it hurts
to be so angry
for such a long time
it is, perhaps,
the most painful
burden a person
can carry

so tonight
I am choosing
to let it go

I have wished
for a very long time
that you would say
"I'm sorry."

but because that's
probably never going
to happen,
I will say the words,
"I forgive you."
