Unforgiving Black Holes
An unwillingness to forgive becomes an inner black hole.
Spirit‑light collapses inward, beginning its fall.
Fear of being hurt again, the sting of injustice —
A victimhood shawl pulled tight around it all.Feelings of unfairness and condoning wrongs,
A darkness that invalidates pain.
Yielding mistaken for weakness,
But with courage to let go there is much to gain.Release from resentment is the first spark.
Bitterness carried away by a gentle flow.
Space is freed up on your identity canvas,
A light of kindness and love begins to glow.
