Forgiving Is For GIVING

(Edited)

How many times have you held a grudge?
You refuse to move and refuse to budge
Your stubbornness and hardened heart
Is like trying to move through deep, thickened sludge

Why make life so difficult and tedious?
The pain spreads wide and over reaches
The trauma is lingering and egregious
And you drain energy like blood sucking leeches

You can’t see true change when you’re blinded
And you’re the first to speak the past and have others be reminded
You refuse to let go and drag the baggage along behind
And weigh your life success into the ground, as you explode at random like hidden mines

You’re a danger to be around, and the atmosphere is toxic
Your words are pestilence and ill-intentioned when you talk sick
You‘re either blatant with your thoughts or you're snide and spiteful, even vague
But you don’t see the moments destroyed with your unforgiving plagues

Compromise is not an option and inner growth is ever fleeting
Forgiving is also for you to give yourself a chance to stop the bleeding
But the rivers of your heart will flow a rapid torrent outward
Because you fear what happens next if you would forgive, don’t be a coward…

Let go, let live, let God… let love…

Just forgive, even yourself
