Forgiveness: A Poem Using "I Am

I am Forgiving written on paper

I Am Forgiving

I am forgiving, a beacon of light,

Through the darkest of nights,

I shine so bright,

I cast away anger and hold no grudge,

Forgiveness, my gift, like a soothing balm,

A healing salve for the wounded soul,

In my heart, forgiveness will always hold.

I forgive those who have caused me pain,

I release the bitterness, let it drain,

For holding onto anger only harms me,

It poisons my spirit, darkens my soul,

Forgiveness is the key that sets me free,

To let go of the past and just be.

In forgiving, I find peace within,

A sense of calm, a new way to begin,

I choose to let go of resentment and hate,

To cleanse my heart of all that is weight,

I open my arms, embrace the light,

Forgiveness, my strength, my guiding light.

I forgive those who have hurt me,

Their words and actions no longer define me,

I rise above, I choose to forgive,

To release the burden, to truly live,

Forgiveness is a gift I give myself,

A way to heal, to find inner wealth.

I forgive the mistakes I have made,

The regrets that haunt me, the price I've paid,

I let go of shame, of self-blame,

I choose to forgive, to break the chain,

Forgiveness is a journey, a path to peace,

A way to let go of the past, to find release.

I forgive those who don't understand,

Who judge me harshly, who reprimand,

I forgive the ignorance, the lack of empathy,

For forgiveness is not about them, it is for me,

To let go of the anger, to find grace,

To forgive is to find my happy place.

I forgive myself for not being perfect,

For the mistakes I've made, the times I've wrecked,

I accept my flaws, my imperfections,

For forgiveness is not about perfection,

It is about growth, about self-love,

About learning to rise above.

I forgive those who have betrayed my trust,

Who have let me down, who have been unjust,

I release the anger, the hurt, the pain,

I choose to forgive, to break the chain,

Forgiveness is a choice, a powerful act,

A way to move forward, to stay intact.

I forgive those who have forgotten me,

Who have moved on, who no longer see,

I release the sadness, the loneliness,

For forgiveness is about finding peace,

To let go of the past, to embrace the now,

To forgive is to find the courage to allow.

I am forgiving, a beacon of light,

Through the darkest of nights, I shine so bright,

I cast away anger and hold no grudge

,Forgiveness, my gift, like a soothing balm,

A healing salve for the wounded soul,

In my heart, forgiveness will always hold.
