My very first try at penning a Villanelle, I am not sure at all about the meter.

However, on the other hand the message I am very sure. There was a time when hatred was so rooted in my heart for an individual who had done me wrong, that it caused me to become very ill. In spite of all the hate I had in my heart; a loving, forgiving and merciful God opened my blinded eyes and revealed to me that I was the source of my illness. I was making myself sick with all that hate bottled up on the inside of me. So I did what God instructed me to do. I called that individual and told them that I forgave them for what was done to me, their response was very vague. I expected them to ask me to forgive them; yet that never came, but still it was just fine with me as I was obedient to what God told me to do. Then I knew I had to go a few steps further by repenting of all my sins asking God to forgive me, and I had to forgive myself. I have grown and learned a lot with my walk with God. I will never allow myself to be deceived to allow hate to enter into my heart against anyone ever again.
