Short End of the Stick

Short end of the stick. Taken for granted. Not given the benefit of the doubt. Wrongly accused Taken advantage of or used Stolen from, so your going without. Lied to and played Done dirty and jaded do you build up resentment within? Ways to get back at, It is nothing to laugh at. Can you take it all on the chin? It is in your best interest to learn the art of forgiveness It will do you such good for your soul. Rise above the wrong doing Kill the hate that is brewing and Find peace so you mind remains whole In the end we will stand before each of our Maker and how can we expect nothing but the worst. If we can't find forgiveness deep down and within us when our God actually forgave us first? Love, intellect, reasoning and forgiveness are what sets our species apart. We are different, so show it- ask yourself if you have half the heart. If you dont then stay stifled, Sit there and clean your rifle, All pent up with bitterness and rage- Buy what the devils selling And demons will keep dwelling Where your soul is- Behind your rib cage. So you can take forgiveness, crumpled up in a ball and put it up high on a shelf. Or you can take it down, dust it off for good use and try it out first on yourself. Stop meausuring success by things left behind and stop judging yourself by your wealth. Forgive and be forgiven. Quit regressing and start living!
