The hardest part, the longest path,
Is learning to forgive yourself.
For the words you didn’t say,
The chances you let slip away,
For believing their lies,
For dimming your own light.
Forgive yourself for the stumbles,
The nights you drowned in shadow,
For trusting hands that betrayed you,
When you were vulnerable,
For loving hearts that broke you,
For giving more than you could hold,
For the pieces you couldn’t mend.
You were navigating a storm,
With a compass that spun,
In moments of chaos and doubt,
You sought a safe shore.
Forgive yourself for the battles you faced,
The wounds you carry still,
Those that have taken time to heal,
It wasn’t your burden to bear.
You were only human, after all,
Learning as you went,
Doing the best you could back then,
You deserve the grace you give away.
So, forgive yourself, gently, slowly,
Release the weight of yesterday.
