Take In a Moment



I am not always a person who wants to forgive or be forgiven;
But today I am a person with a thought on his mind.

Because in life, shit definitely happens.
I live with regrets from past mistakes;
Or anger towards the horrid actions of another;
And there are unfathomable events that stir us all.

Today, as this is written,
Or as this is reread,
A moment is haunting me.

So today of all days,
I will take in a thought,
One often wished away,
And I do not forgive;
And I do not forget;
I simply see it as is
And accepted it.

Today, as this is written,
Or as this is reread,
I choose to take it in.

But how do I face a moment as haunting as this?
I think back to where I once was;
Now see where I have come;
And wonder: will this acceptance aid my future?

I am not always a person who wants to forgive or be forgiven;
But today I aim to be a person who moves on.
