Someone once said
forgiveness is the key
to how you heal.

I say to feel is how you heal
I will not make a saint 
out of a villain who
gave me nothing
nothing but fear and pain.

Say what would I have to gain 
from a charade like that?
Hate is what I feel 
and to be real
that is not a sin.

He may be 
my father
but
the day he died
was the day I started
living.

It was the key 
to the day
I started 
forgiving
myself.
