GENTLE WORDS I STUMBLED ACROSS TODAY

"Forgive them, not because they asked for your forgiveness,

or because they deserve it,

or because the pain they caused you is not worth it.

It shows your level of maturity,

and your ability to understand that life is not always fair.

And that someone's behavior speaks of them, not you

your forgiveness speaks of you, not them."

- Najwa Zebian

I am not a keen poem reader. Modern poetry (by modern I mean written by authors from this 21st century) is one the genres I tend to skip when I browse for books to read. The reasons are because they are almost the same, too mediocre, always about love or heartbroken words and I just don't want to spend more than 20 dollars for books with just few words in it (such a waste of my worthy money). But today, I stumbled across a post from my favorite DV specialist on her Instagram's feed, I read a piece from Najwa Zebian she shared few years ago. And suddenly, it makes me think… that poems can be so calming, sometimes.
