The Melody of Unbinding : Hope's Eternal Verse

"You speak of being victimized, of wounds that will not heal.
Yet you continue to spread venom with each word you speak.
When does the cycle end, when will you no longer feel
Compelled to keep inflicting pain upon the weak?

Your actions show a hunger, a yearning to subdue.
But domination through force will never grant you peace.
True freedom comes not from others but from within you.
The path ahead requires that all hostility must cease.

Each barbed attack launched comes from your inner discontent.  
But stirring turbulence in others will not bring calm.
Your unrest will persist until you learn to repent,
And see that only empathy can soothe your inner harm.

The hurt you once endured need not define your way.
Though shadows linger, you can step into the light of day.

What happened cannot be undone, the past can't be erased.
But going forward, you can choose a kinder way to live.
The world will not change until we cure hatred at its base.  
There's so much beauty that compassion alone can give.

You once trembled as a sapling in a storm of cruelty.
But having weathered brutality, you can now spread shade.
Instead of harm, offer others the kindness you needed.
The cycle stops when wounds are healed, not knives remade.

Each day is a chance to divert time's course, start anew.
Forgiveness frees us, anger is corrosive as acid.
We remember the hurt but need not relive it too.
Peace comes when we see even foes once were helpless children.

Those who victimize often bear unseen scars as well.
But what is righted by passing on blame for past evils?
When souls are freed from hatred's grip, humanity prevails.  
Division ends when we heal our pain and cease being vindictive.

No soul is born wishing cruelty, we learn it through loss.
Some build walls around their hearts, believing care causes pain.
But even the coldest prison has a key that unlocks.
We must melt each other's ice, give love not contempt or disdain.

When light is shared it multiplies, illuminating all.
Darkness dissipates when we turn our gaze up from the past.
Scars remain but need not in anger make us thrall.  
The way forward is found when revenge no longer binds us fast.

Though history echoes, time's flow means the future's unshaped.
Destinies once damned can with work be transformed.
No soul lies utterly beyond redemption's reach.
There is always hope, if we keep striving to reform."
