Holding A Grudge
When the sky is day, and everything is new
I'll start my day and say 'Hello'
When the sky has risen and everything is bright
I'll say 'Hello' and hold my grudge
When the sky is blue and the mood is high
I'll hold my grudge for my life
When the sun is at noon and it's twelve past noon
I'll live my life and then i'll forgive
When the sky is grey and the clouds are down
I'll forgive him when i breathe my last
When the sky has set and the birds are quiet
I'll breathe my last and everything has gone to rest[font=Courier][/font]

Author's Note
I've been told to forgive a person over and over again but i can't. what has happened has happened but it still has turned my life down paths that shouldn't have happened. this poem is about how one day i might forgive them but it won't be right now.

Great, poignant and honestly realistic. I'm at the point where I choose not to get even with certain person yet cannot forgive them emotionally or have any type of contact with them. I think we forgive by letting go of the person, but we never deny their wrongdoing or let them back in our lives without evidence of real contrition and change on their part.

I Fully agree. sometimes giving revenge to the person that you struggle to forgive, is exactly what they want. we have a hard time accepting what has happened to us and sharing our feelings with what has happened. its like a ripple in a pond, the consequences of yesterday will affect the days of tomorrow and some people just don't realize that yet.

The use of refrain is effective, giving it a nice flow. Eckhart Tolle says, the experience we are having is the experience we are meant to have, for the growth of our consciousness. Your profile picture and screen name are eye catching. Thought I would pop over. Nice to meet you, northern neighbor.

Thank you & it is very nice to meet you too !
I really like the quote by Tolle, and its true, if we write about our own experiences then we can create different endings for the experience(s).
