I forgive you self

by Lakendra Elliott

I forgive you self, for all the years I neglected you With the hurtful things that I put you through

I forgive you self, for the emotions I made you feel When you did not take the time to heal

I forgive you self, for the lies and deceit I once told When in reality it was your dignity you sold

I forgive you self, for the blood, sweat and tears From being too afraid to overcome your fears

I forgive you self, so you can be happy and free, After processing who you were internally

I forgive you self,

I forgive you self, so you can learn to forgive me
