How can you accept the unacceptable?
Can we find the strength to forgive?
Can we use our anger to create positive change?

If you are interested in exploring the concept of forgiveness - these videos and podcasts helped me a lot to gain more understanding:

And a little video explaining “consent” in probably the most charming way possible: • Tea Consent

I Accept
You don’t wanna talk.
So we don’t talk.
Just like we never knew each other.
Till we won’t know one another.
And you wanna pretend.
So go on and pretend.
That we never felt a thing.
Till we won’t feel anything.
I accept. I have to accept.
Give up all my longings for truth and respect.
I accept. I need to accept.
‘cause I can’t move on with this hate in my chest.
You don’t wanna talk.
So we don’t talk.
But that’s your decision.
It’s never been mine.
And you wanted to f***.
Tried till I gave up.
So I finally could sleep.
After saying ‚No‘ on repeat.
I accept. I have to accept.
Give up all my longings for truth and respect.
I accept. I do. I do accept.
‘cause I don’t wanna live with hate strangling my chest.
But No. I cannot accept.
I ain’t broken yet.
And I wanna have back.
What you simply took.
What you simply took.
Who gave you the right?
Who gave you my rights?
Was it you yourself?
or was it me?
Your screwed up past?
Or our society?
Was it you yourself?
Or even me?
Your screwed up past?
Or our society?
You don’t wanna talk.
So we don’t talk.
But you can’t take my right away
to say what I need to say.
