In the face
Of a false one
Can you summon
Your dignity
Is there grace
In your heart
Love for your captor
Forgiveness
In your future
We cannot forgive
Without resentment
This is the hardest part
To forgive and not forget
I must cross
An ocean of anger
The mirror of truth
Stare deeply at its ugliness
So that I know
The why and how
And my role
In this state I
Gather intelligence
Validating pain
Learning
Then moving forward
I am educated
But my pain is not an excuse
To be petulant and cruel
It is my duty to love
To work
And
Work hard at being kind
In this grotesquely
Indulgent time
With
Fewer and fewer
Adults
Am I noble?
Am I Dorian Gray?
With all my blunderings
Worn proudly
I will still
Try to do
Whats right
I will fail
And I will try again
To be good
Will you?
Not everything is a shade of grey.
