Forgiveness, it matters

in this zero-sum game.

What I lost

I will now reclaim.

I give my soul permission

to set myself free.

Not for you

but because of me.

I grant myself leniency

on the path to redemption

but that doesn’t mean

you get an exemption.

What you’ve done

is yours to own,

but I let go

and cast no stones.
