To Forgive
17 October, 2002
Author: Seizure
Think about how long, that you hold a grudge
How many of them, did you just misjudge?
What happened long ago, could have been mistakes
It reflects on you, with how long it takes
Was it really that bad? Are they now sincere?
Were they always with you, when you'd shed a tear?
Could it happen again? Could they now have changed?
This is quite the choice, that life has arranged
You know that you miss them, you both had great times
Sometimes you mess up, it happens sometimes
Do you want forgiveness, when you are the wrong?
You used to have fun, you used to get along
Just give them the chance, that you never had
From your old best friends, to your hurtful dad
This might be the friendship, that could last forever
They might be the best friend, that you find, ever
How will you know when, you should just forgive?
There is nothing like, friendships to relive
It hurts me so much, to see friends like this
Why choose to be lonely? When you could choose bliss?
Some of us cannot, make that choice today
We never had the chance, friends just wouldn't stay
For all my past friends, and my only dad
Forgiveness is the choice, that I never had

| barb (216.123.56.1) -- Saturday, October 19 2002, 03:06 pm knew you had it in you to forgive does that mean me too. Ha Ha I don't know what you 're going through but forgiveness is the first step to feeling better about yourself. |
| Pamela (142.59.47.96) -- Saturday, October 19 2002, 06:39 pm You just described everything I have been going through lately - with one person in particular. My last two poems are completely in sync with the line "why choose to be lonely, when you could choose this bliss?" This poem is the kind that reaches into the depths of our minds and forces us to acknowledge our destructiveness towards ourselves. Andon the contrary, it reaches into the depths of our hearts and forces us to recognize that happiness can be achieved through kindness to others. |

| Seizure (68.155.221.75) -- Monday, October 21 2002, 05:37 pm Well, yeah, i gotta have the commas or I'm lost. I do it intentionally to throw you off, you didn't know that? My poem sucks? Coming from you, I take that as a compliment. Thanks'n'stuff. |
| J. (209.214.52.140) -- Monday, October 21 2002, 05:40 pm it's all good... just try not to wake nate up in his pile of chicken bones... |
| Roy Claxton (152.163.188.4) -- Monday, October 21 2002, 10:39 pm thanks hs for your distruction of your self centerness-my name is Roy--hey J little do you know--really I just wanted to read and write--my writings suck--well, not worry I will have Becky see if I must go--It take a strong man to admitt what you can't comprehend HS and be civil--I commend you Jos for strenght and you part to be an Americans who would not listen to HS |
| Seizure (68.155.221.75) -- Tuesday, October 22 2002, 03:59 am Roy... you are starting to get on my last nerve. You got something to say to me, why don't we meet and you can say it? Otherwise, shut the hell up, and let the site continue as it always has. And for the record, my name's not "Jos." It's Josh. |
| jp (146.229.139.230) -- Tuesday, October 22 2002, 04:14 am I read 2 good poems and now this? *sigh* J/k Seizure. Your poem kicks ass... but yet again, mr. roy has to continue with his bitchy bitchy bitching... which is really hurting this site. Roy: Take your personal vendetta against Seizure elsewhere... this is a website for critiquing and presenting poetry. Not a place to attack the individuals behind a poem. Geez. Good poem though. For Seizure. ;) j/k |
| Pamela (66.38.146.67) -- Wednesday, October 23 2002, 03:47 am Not that I am promoting this fighting, but perhaps if you guys have so much to say to each other you should write poems about it or something - avoiding swear words hopefully - so that this comment space could be used more efficiently? Just an idea, thought maybe it would be a solution (in a sense) |
| Seizure (68.155.218.237) -- Wednesday, October 23 2002, 07:28 am Trust me, I've already written some. But I'm not ever going to submit them as #1: Dreamer wouldn't allow them to be posted and #2: I think it would be mean. I just wrote them to vent (like I write all these poems), so you knew they had to come out somewhere. |
| Roy (152.163.188.4) -- Wednesday, October 23 2002, 10:33 am really---I thought seizure was hard timing Pamela--I love her and got defendsvive--I like Pamela's idea--maybe there is a age gap and a new rap with words that I don't comprehend--so I will write one for seizure--I already did for Pam---I really think Becky would like poems about dreams--most of the one I write are lame--I have walked thru many of seizures and Pamela's also now I truely like Barbara's also--My poem to share with you ,you can find but not on this site. Is's by: e.e.cummings--SPRING IS LIKE |
| Roy/smiley (152.163.188.4) -- Wednesday, October 23 2002, 12:19 pm to come back to your poem--I really love it--It take me back to some battles in VN knowing I was going to be killed and had to forgive my dad--I was just little boy with dead bodies of friends along side me for sometimes a week before they could be taken away--the smell and the blood everywhere and you crawl over to them and cry with fear, then the bullets and mortars hit here and there and more cry out for help and the smell of death is all around you--you with you could go home to that bad dad and forgive him --well that won't work going down that road stepping over body parts to run away--I guess anyone would try to live to forgive again--can you recommend you favorite poem that you wrote? reply please |
| Seizure (68.155.218.237) -- Wednesday, October 23 2002, 09:27 pm Glad to see you're giving it up finally. It was a lost cause to begin with I believe. Now maybe the site will get back on track. My favorite poem that I wrote? I have two. #1: Perfect Place #2: Never Meant for Me |
| LinzAy (209.240.198.60) -- Wednesday, October 23 2002, 10:42 pm Hehe...seizure has a name! Never knew it before! Nice to meet u Josh...i'm Lindsay....Anyways...i loved the poem. It made me think about forgiving someone that i hate...but then i decided no. Although i know thats one sense im not being very christianlike but it's so hard to forgive when someone has hurt u so bad.....A few poems i wrote for the girl i hate will be up on this site soon...grrrrr |
| LinzAy (209.240.198.60) -- Friday, October 25 2002, 12:55 am Well, i did it. Damn it all. I did it. And do you guys know how good it felt to finally get rid of all that hate i had overflowing inside of me? I can breathe now. I'm still gonna put those poems on here but they're feelings that today i chose to leave in the past. I think i may write a poem about forgiveness now that i have been able to do so. Ah....i can breathe |
| Seizure (68.155.218.237) -- Friday, October 25 2002, 05:24 am good to hear. |
| LinzAy (209.240.198.60) -- Friday, October 25 2002, 07:17 am Thankyou:) |

| somebody (211.26.112.59) -- Thursday, November 21 2002, 01:36 pm hurt, pain, mental torment, forgive no way. |
| Ash (24.97.207.68) -- Thursday, May 29 2003, 11:28 pm Seizure i love this one. i feel i can relate to every line in this poem. |
| Ashley R. (64.66.207.64) -- Friday, October 24 2003, 06:57 am I decided to read the comments on this page. And i noticed that you and roy were arguing a bit. But it seemed to die off. But i also noticed that u said 'My Perfect Place' and 'Never Meant for Me' were ur favorite poems that u wrote, so i had to read em'. And may i say, nice job. Very good. It seemed like that roy guy was really pissing u off. But i'm glad that u stood up to him, kind of a turn on 4 me. Hee Hee |
| Seizure (68.19.43.36) -- Friday, October 24 2003, 07:16 am No, I said my two favorites were "Never Meant for Me" and "Perfect Place." NOT "MY Perfect Place." Those are two different poems. I think My Perfect Place sucks while Perfect Place is perfect. Just me though. |
| Ashley R. (66.52.65.222) -- Saturday, October 25 2003, 02:03 am Well, um, sorry to get u all mad. Didn't mean to. But i'll read "Perfect Place". Sorry.. |
| Seizure (68.19.43.36) -- Saturday, October 25 2003, 05:05 am I wasn't mad. I was correcting a mistake... talk to you later. |
