putting the sword away

i used to say
i was done with forgiveness.

done with bending,
done
with reaching out the olive
branch.

finished
with being nice, being good,
being understanding.

i tried so hard to go the other way,
thinking darkness,
but it didn't work.

filling my day with anger
and resentment.
self righteousness
poisoned me to the bone.

it's a losing game.
one I won't go to back to,
God willing,

ever again.
