Forgiveness

For every time you put me down
For every word that stung
For every cruel shout and frown
For every punch you flung

I'll tell the world of my misfortune
I'll tell them what you've done
I'll break your twisted, rotting heart
I'll say you have not won

They chose to not believe me
They chose to side with you
They waved away my cries for help
They don't know what you put me through

But now I've found my voice
But now you're gone for good
But now I finally have the choice
But I don't think I should

So I'll bury my resentment
And I'll try to just move on
So you don't have to face justice
And have your freedom gone

Now you may call me pathetic
It's what you may call weakness
Now a concept you don't understand
It's what I call forgiveness
