I hear some things and I try to think
Is it possible to act like this?
My mom once told me forgive and forget
That was when my sister hit my head
I waited two weeks I hatched my plan
I waited for the perfect time to execute my attack
During this time we played and laughed
I almost convinced myself I had forgiven her
Then the time came she pushed my chest
Oh it’s time to fulfil my quest
Four hours later my mum was back
What happened here?, who made you cry
It was him! My sister pointed her hands
But you hit my head too! I quickly replied
Forgive and forget my mum scolded
Ten lashes with my father’s belt
Now I wonder I did forgive
The only thing was I couldn’t forget
I am human how could I forget
My head was sore from the pain I felt
Later in life I reminisced the thought
Is it possible to forgive and forget?
After many lessons in the school of thought
I discovered the solution I always sought
Forgiveness is cool and all
But don’t forget the crime
Don’t forget the hurt
Don’t try at all to cover the deed
Just forgive and remember you did
Because when you forgive you will always remember the pain
The best therapy is to never forget you forgave. By Ajide Faithful
