Let Her Be

Let her not be able to forgive

Let her love

love and heal herself so deep first

that she could burn all the hatred and resentment

Let there grow space

so that she will see things with clarity and pace

Let there be room to integrate

then she will have such strength to say "I forgive" one day

Not in a forced way willed by someone else

Not said in idealized falsity

But with a great realization and gentle voice

So let her be, let her be

(An epiphany I had when I saw a troubled soul, not able to forgive and love self. I had deepened understanding that growth should be gentle. This is to all who read this. :-)   )
