Holding no grudge
You pushed me to the ground and laughed.
I couldn’t make you feel the same way so I used my kindness as a raft.
You used your words like knives in my soul.
I can’t remember the last time it was whole.
You hurt me, but I don’t hold a grudge.
I’ve tried to move on but my heart won’t budge.

Dear M,
You’re a better soul than I! Grudges are a specialty and curse casting are a gift. This poem did make me think about reconsidering my approach to forgiveness with some caution tape in order to not be taken advantage of and I thank you for opening my thoughts to that.

Erm, yeah, this is really good & it's a well written message to yourself but also to others. There are religious overtones here too with your 'love thy neighbour' hint. But your heart won't budge. Haha, that has always been our biggest hurdle. Sounds like you know the route to salvation but have temporarily lost the map! If I may, from your latest avatar I saw the soul behind your eyes. Yes, you look a little resigned but quite alert. Downtrodden but fighting back. That's what your eyes say to me.
