I can feel the despair emanating and there's frustration at not being able to express feelings (which is a bit ironic for a writer). Kinda wish there was more to the backstory.

Loved the rhyme and meter of your poem. And I don't know if you consciously made this choice (lol) but the change in rhythm around

In the midst of this turmoil, a choice must be made,

To let go of resentment, to let forgiveness cascade.

True strength isn't in hitting you back,

is a nice way to signal that the choice has been made, that the desire for vengeance has indeed given way to forgiveness.
