__Forgive But Never Forget__

**The scars on my hands, the mental images in my head can not be taken back **

**for **** they are forever imprinted into my soul. **

**The years of cruelty towards me and my ancestors with never be forgotten. **

**We cant turn around and take things back no time machine to look back. **

**All we can do is look ahead and change what may be coming **

**Forgive but never forget. **  **It wasn’t as if we didnt expect this. **   **After all, colored girls must know order in society ** **This life was normal and all we ever knew ** **It was anything less then pleasant ** **There is really nothing left to do ** **Forgive but never forget. **
