thanksgiving

I want to get out

I need to leave

I can't stand being here

I need to see other people

My friends. My church members. My brothers and sisters.

My other real family

I know they'll help me at least get my mind off everything

I was hoping it would be this warm, heartfelt reunion

I hoped it would be the start of a new family

But nothing has changed

Five years later, he's still the same

And he still has yet to apologize

So today, I ask myself..

Do I forgive him, after all this time?

...

Let me ask another question:

Does God forgive the sins for which we don't repent?
