Let Go and Forgive

Rising rage overwhelms me As I think about what they did I try to keep away from them I keep my feelings hid But a fire roars within me Towards a certain few How they judged me wrongly And their actions, once I knew I feel my fury soaring As I put words to pain Stifled emotions evolve Over and over again The hurt I feel inside Is as fresh as the day it dawned And the love I thought was real I've well and truly mourned Innocence and dignity Got me through that time I always had a peace of mind I didn't commit a crime And to all the people, Who put me through that pain I hope you learned enough to know You wouldn't do that again Forgiving can be hard to do It's now time to let go And bear no more angry scars I need to let love flow Today I close the door behind I forgive, let go and forget And take from those tough few months My hardest lessons yet
