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
