forgiveness

Look at your life
and think where you would be.
If you had only one wish,
would you choose to be free?

From the shackles of pain,
from remorse and regret,
trying to claw your way back
from things you want to forget.

Is it love you would seek,
what you once chose to believe?
In attempts to avoid
the things you must grieve.

Would you speed up the clock
just to get to the end,
and say you don’t care,
only just to pretend?

The big leap of faith
is truly not great—
to fully embrace
your pure, natural state.
