Musings of a Messed Up Mind - 27. Can I Forgive?

My father is ill. The authorities are sending him to a hospital for treatment. My brother wants me to go and see him, he's upset I said no.

Can I Forgive?

 

It’s surely one of Loki’s tricks

The Gods giggle behind their hands

Fate could not have planned it better—

The phone call I got today

 

Dear old dad will be getting out

He’s coming home they’ve said

Not to me, that bastard’s not

He deserves to rot in hell

 

But he’s ill they are telling me

Oh, woe is me, that’s a shame

I’ve no pity for him left inside

But … he is my father.

 

Are you nuts? I ask myself

Why do you give a damn?

I don’t know, can’t answer that

Though I know I hate that man

 

Yet, he is my father, isn’t he?

That runs around my head

After all he did and will likely do

If I choose to let him in

 

But I don’t want to have regrets

It’s a fifty fifty crap shoot, right?

I’m damned if I do and if I don’t

But what is best for me?

 

They tell me he’ll be in hospital

I guess he’s pretty ill

Well then I don’t need to decide

Unless I hear from him

 

I spoke to my brother

He’s pretty mad with me

Because I choose not to forgive

The man who sentenced me

 

Don’t know if I can be that kind

Not sure how I would feel

Will it help me, if I lie?

Because a lie is what it would be

 

So what do I do? Give him the chance

To tell me he was wrong?

Would I believe him if he did?

Can that leopard change his spots?

Thanks for reading and for your reviews, if you choose to leave one.

How does one forgive the unforgivable? Yes, I know, forgiveness has long been held as an ideal. For some of us, that act is not nor ever will be possible. They are gone now, good riddance. Regrets? No, not a one, never will be either. The alternate answer has been to find peace with the past. Is there hatred? No, there is nothing, no reason to reside on that love-hate continuum. They stole enough. 

I hope whatever your decision was brought you peace. 💓

Hi Wiyot.

i went to see him. i was ninety-nine percent sure how he'd be, and i was right. But it was still the right thing for me to do. i didn't forgive him, but i had to go and give him a chance in order to be right with myself. i hope that makes sense.

Thank you for reading a lot of my older work.  i see you leaving reactions, thank you.  i'm especially grateful for this comment.
