Forgive and Forget

How do you forgive yourself

for all the things that you have done?

For all the times

you broke your own heart

by holding on even though it hurt

even though you should have run?

How do you stop the pain

that you inflict on yourself?

Your mind going round and around 

chasing its own tail...

Whispering to you that you are not enough.

That you are twisted. 

And broken.

And alone.

And unloved.

That everything that you do 

is wrong. 

Is there forgiveness inside you

For yourself?

Can you forget 

All the slights, and all the hurt and all the pain?

Can

You 

Really 

Fix 

Yourself?
