How Can We Shut People Out of Our World

Nine in ten admits that holding on to the grudge is wrong, oh, there have been times I did the same, and with head in hands, I hid in shame crying, telling myself how cruel I was, repeating it with awful shame... that a loveless soul is hard to tame, " Everybody hates to forgive... and in revenge, I didn't believe how can we shut people out of our world living a selfish life terribly cold? " I like to forget, leave all tears behind and wait for a cheerful morning that's bright and full of sound; hear me praying to the Lord, He'll listen and restore every joy that I may feel until I see His glory! How can we shut people off our world, believing that turning them away is something we must do to give satisfaction to hateful anger... when we should be showing human love that's so noble to do, nothing else; how can we shut people out of our world, and go on living as if nothing has changed! In the depth of our soul, we know it's too unfair and it contradicts belief, trust, and harmony! Doesn't God look upon us with displeasure when we hurt others with painful words, not understanding that they are hard blows? Don't they stare at us and feel so unloved and betrayed by friends who thought we were beautiful diamonds with a shine so real? How can we shut people out of our world if they were things to store away when not needed? How we shut people off our world, keeping silent and showing hearts of steel?
