Does Forgivness Comes with a Price?

Understand5465 Comments

Sadness of a heartbroken woman

where she is sleepless at night,

tossing and turning

from left to right.

So the bottle of wine

on her dresser

suppresses

the truth as she struggles

to wipe away

the tears from her eyes.

Those sex flashbacks

are the ghosts that

roam freely in her dreams

and forgiveness is for free

while she sleeps,

but when she wakes up to reality

forgiveness comes with a price.

Jealousy begins to arise

like the sun in the morning

as now she is at the stage of strife

and the ugly truth is the starving monster.

in the closet

where love’s beauty was devoured

piece by piece.

  1. Do you think forgivness comes with a price?
  2. Are you currently struggling with forgivness at this moment?
  3. Why do people that are not fully heal, tend to hurt others and how do we stop this cycle?

  2. I think a lot of people really don’t understand that the concept of forgiveness is about your own internal healing.

    People assume they forgiveness means you look at somebody who robbed you and say “oh, it’s OK that you hurt me, because I FORGIVE you”.

    Forgiveness isn’t a hall pass for bad behavior. It’s a self induced healing process that enables the victim to move on.

    Forgiveness does that mean forgetting.

    Unfortunately, I think sometimes people are so hurt, that they wanted to reflect their hurt upon other people, innocent or not.
