You cornered me,
I had no chance,
I could not escape
this beating dance,
but I am not done!

I fell hard,
face down in the durt,
there wasn't a place
where my body didn't hurt,
but I am not done!

In my mouth I taste blood,
through my eyes I can't see,
oh, how my body longs
to unchain my soul and let it free,
but I am not done!

My wounds will heel,
the scars will stay,
but I can forgive you
even forget one day,
cause I am not done.

Something I have
you could never keep long,
the power of forgiveness
that makes me strong.
I am not done!


 Waves...amazing hey? Wind blowing over smoothe ocean water creates shear. The longer the wind blows, and the futher the fetch, the more energy gets transferred from the wind to the water. What started off as a breeze 1 000km away, ends up as a glass-faced barrel at some far off beach.

Wow...I loved this! It implies a strength in the forgiveness of someone very hurt. Beautiful.

Thanks again

This is beautiful. The epithamy of strength and forgiveness. I love it  !
