I forgive her
I have forgiven herFor all the years of misery
For all the pain she caused willingly or unwillingly
For failing to be a mother to me
Like all mothers should be.
She looked after them while I was away
And I could repay her with my own life
As for me they are my life,
The greatest gifts that life has offered to me.
The fear was so strong
I was so insecure and broken
I never wanted to become her
In any flimsiest way or manner
I loathed to be what she was to me all those years back.
So many years have passed
And I rejoice in the knowledge that I am nothing like her.
I love my children with all my heart
And I would go through as many discomforts and sacrifices
For their happiness and well-being.
She still loathes me, after all these years
Although now she doesn't show it openly.
With time I realized that in truth,
She only loathed herself,
Seeing her reflection in me,
Believing that I am as manipulative and calculating
As she was all those years back.
In truth, she wants me to choose who to love more
But I love them equally
My heart bleeds for all.
She wanted me to be like her
So she can justify her hatred for me.
But I am nothing like her.
I forgive her now for everything,
Still loving her from afar but no longer naive
Hoping she can find her own healing
As I love mine the way I had deserved to be loved
Grateful that I had the gift of patience, love and mercy
And they opened the door to those precious feelings.
