“To forgive is to visit the past and come back safe and sound.”
She read those words
Shuddered just a bit
The truth hit hard
Maybe it was not quite that easy
But then again
Maybe it was
She only knew
This much was true
She had to forgive herself
For holding the silence in
For keeping the ‘peace’
When she should have screamed
She visited the past
Saw the child she was
And told her that she was
Safe and sound, now
