Struggling to let go
Got scars in my soul
Chained by the offence of yesterday
Enslaved by the memories of excruciating pain
Thought I knew what love was
Maybe I was totally wrong
To be hurt by a close friend
Questions all that one has learned
About life and friendship
Maybe it's not worth it
Stuck in this lonely jail of bitterness
Consumed by the betrayal of many friends
A prisoner with the keys in hand
Wondering who will get me out
Hurt by another
But imprisoned by self
When will I get out
Only I can tell
Man's nature is to err
Guess I'm also guilty
Made mistakes in the past
Some, I never felt sorry
Still doesn't change what I feel
Wondering when my soul will heal
Blaming the offender sweetens my ego
But freedom comes only when I let go
To be free or not to be free lies in my hands
I begin the process to heal my scars
The choice is always mine to make
The best time is no other but today

A poem to enjoy and to learn from. Well done 👍
I enjoyed reading it, could relate to it as well. We are the cause of our prolonged pain most of the time, we usually don't get free till we choose to be free
