The Absent of Forgiveness

I lost it long ago Didn't want it back Neither did I want to Hunt it down I've been hurt too many Times before Trusted too many people Bee thrust around Malled in the dirt Kicked and be cast out I don't know what to Do at this point I keep hearing a Small still voice Crying in my soul Screamin forgive, forgive They know not what they do But I shoot it down with pills Drentched myself with strong drink But the next morning I hear it's echoes Forgive, forgive For the didn't know What they were doing Oh my aching heart could not take it So I forgave One lonely night And my soul felt like heaven The absent of forgivenss It is not grand So I slowwly brought it back But now... I must watch my step

We watch and we pray, soon we discover that forgiveness is not for the other but for the healing of the self. Prayer is the place to find wholeness when the picture on the floor is scattered shards. Welcome here, Love you

Very powerful, I know from experience that it is not healthy to keep so much anger inside for those that have wronged you..In all honesty it makes you so bitter and unhappy..I tell myself that I can forgive but that doesn't mean that we are going to suddenly be buddy buddy again..NO, that means that I forgave but you have not won my trust back..So now my eyes are wide open..I found that once I let it go,I felt so much relief and freedom..God forgives, and we must forgive each other..GB, Tyesha
