I forgive all the times
that you looked at me with those eyes. I forgive all the lies, because I know it was just a disguise. A disguise to hide all the pain, that made you oh so vein.
A disguise to hide all yours tears, because of all you fears.
A disguise to hide all the rejections, because of all your imperfections. A disguise filled with madness, to hide all your sadness. A disguise that made you act rough, just to make you seem tough. A disguise that is never going to end, because you are alive but also dead.
But no matter what the reason is, it doesn't have to end like this.
That's why I am writing this to you, to let you know that I forgive you.

The author's comments:
I have recently been going through a tough time about forgiving someone. I finally realized that this person did not mean to hurt me. I just want people to know that if you are going through the process of forgiving someone for whatever the reason, try to think about why person did what they did. With God's help you will get through it and be happy, I promise.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
