The Violator I must forgive It disgusts me as much as you It is in Peace I choose to live

Suffering I am triggered to re-live Victimized by memories coming through The Violator I must forgive

Was that all they had to give? Are they not human beings too? It is in Peace I choose to live

Must I be so ruminative? To my own heart, I must be true The Violator I must forgive

I shake my thoughts through love’s sieve Allowing hurt and anger to pass on through It is in Peace I choose to live

Though I know it will be transformative This process I do not wish to do The Violator I must forgive It is in Peace I choose to live
