Forgive
not forget
for myself
not them
But inside
I ask
How would they feel?
Is it possible?
Why do these memories flood?
The flood
every part of my body
every aspect of my life
They say it’s not that easy
but they do not understand
They do not understand
the battle of good and evil
inside my soul
inside my mind
inside my body
the very essence
of me
I am not those things
those awful events
the parts of my life
my very being
that I wish
and pray
and hope
I will forget
but I may never forget them
at least in this lifetime
What keeps me fighting
and hoping
running
and sometimes crawling
through the toughest days?
It is the light
the sun always rising
It is the hope
each new morning brings
It is that deep part of me
the deepest part of my soul
my inner being
the Holy Spirit
inside my body
The one
who strengthens me
and holds me
lets me know He is
always with me
There is no darkness
no pit so deep
no fire
no flood
nothing
no crevice
no hole
in this world
left untouched by God
no part of my life
no matter how deep
no place
without God
