Forgiven

I will forgive you…

For all the times you pushed me away.

The times I cried and you never

Wiped my tears.

 

I will for give you for not believing…

When I told you what he did.

My spirit was broken on that day

I was only seven.

 

I will forgive you even though you deny me.

Still you act as if it never happened.

Even when the bruises

Were still fresh

 

I will forgive you for not protecting me…

Making me veil the pain inside my heart

Leaving me shattered and beaten.

Scaring my soul.

 

I will forgive you all our faults…

All the sorrow you have laded me with.

Your lack of sympathy

Your weakness.

 

I will forgive you all these things…

All forgiven but not forgotten.

Forgiving is not an easy task. You are a strong individual for doing so. This poem is touching and very emotional. Many people will be able to relate to your words because they honest and real. Great job!

so sad, a voice for many sad, abused, hurt little ones. Thank you for the courage to share such a painful subject.

Mia, I thought this was great. Its about a parent who fails to shelter her child from abuse. I took it to be the mother. Its bad enough when abuse happens, but to not be believed about it can be just as bad. You did a wonderful job on this one.
