We need not be victims

When angry with someone from the past,
when energy is spent in reliving the event,
time is wasted on a memory,
something past and gone,
often giving power to those who hurt
whether it was intentional or not.

We need not be victims,
heavy chains that only we have the key for,
which is forgiveness,
hard to achieve but freeing for the soul,
allowing it once more to be free
and to fly.

"Forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us."

I try to keep this in mind as much as possible. It can take a bit of practice and patience depending on how hurtful the thing causing you pain is though.

I find myself asking God to grant me peace of mind, heart, body, soul, and spirit when struggling with such things.
