I always hear you cry “Why SHOULD I?”
And so often I feel the same
I’M the one hurting
I’M the one damaged
Because of what THEY did
But when you let it fester
It’s grows and grows and grows
It turns into a prickly pear
And dominates your life
You’ll never heal that hurt
You can’t move on and forward
Your heart slowly turns to bitter
As horrible memories consume
The only way out
The only way free
Is to make that choice
Just to forgive
Its so hard when you don’t feel it
But it’s not about feelings
It’s about making the choice
Day in and day out
Every minute a choice
As the weeks go by
You’ll notice a change
As you continue to make that choice
The hurt doesn’t leave you
But it softens and fades
As you see life transform
Colours turn bright again and
Your mind becomes clear
As you realise forgiveness
Is NOT about them
Its just about you
And embracing your renewed life
