Ethical ELA's Open Write asks us to reflect on forgiveness, a topic that evokes raw emotion in me.
I've
Said, "I forgive you."
Tried to
Forgive.
Let go of resentment.
Redirect anger.
Reimagine my life.
I've
Read Relationship Trauma*
Done therapy and yoga.
Planted flowers.
Walked many miles.
Discarded memories.
Envisioned a new story.
I'm still
Sad on
Holidays, anniversaries.
Aware that for me,
To forgive is
An every-day-of-your-life
Recurring action,
A means to move forward.
A verb.
