Still, I Forgive You

Unasked

image created by author using AI

I know

you’ve never asked

and certainly never will

but still

I forgive you.

You are not worthy of it

but is there any other way out?

I can’t endure this rage anymore

it is crushing me.

I want to breathe deeply again.

I want to sleep soundly again

and wake up after dawn

I want to be amazed by the colour of the sky.

I want to look at the lighted street from my balcony and smile again

because this hatred feels like a mist

that blocks the beauty of the world

I want the sun to rise again.

I want to be free.

I want peace.

and I want the little things to make me happy again.
