They say forgiveness is a virtue
But I’d rather keep my anger
They say forgiveness is healing
But I’ve never been a listener
They say forgiveness is a necessity
But I don’t see how I could
They say forgiveness is a virtue
But I need to lose my anger
They say forgiveness is healing
And I guess it’s time to start to listen
They say forgiveness is a necessity
But it’s going to take some time

The Ritual of Winter Challenge Winners
Welcome to the Winners Announcement for The Ritual of Winter challenge. This prompt focused on winter rituals and the meaning that settles into them over time. The top pieces stay grounded in ordinary acts and repeated routines, letting winter shape the work through pace, attention, and restraint.

Yes forgiveness is a real struggle. Love your poem.
This poem captures the struggle of letting go so beautifully! The honest back-and-forth between holding on and moving forward feels so real. Love how it ends with a gentle acknowledgment that healing is a process, not a rush.
