"Forgive and Forget"
I slammed the door and ran to the bed,
Wondering why they said the things they said,
I began to to weep and scream,
I only wished I could wake myself from this dream.
The problem was this dream was real,
I felt every emotion there was to feel,
Anger, sadness, and even hate,
I didn't know what to do at this rate.
I knew forgiving and fogetting was what I had to do,
But how could I possibly when they would just continue?
I try my hardest to get over it,
But truthfully it is pulling at my spirit.
How can I just put it behind me and in my past,
When I know that it will continue to last,
They aren't trying to help me out,
It makes me want to give up and shout.
I am understanding you see,
But people just keep hurting me.
God I need you here to help me when I fall,
I know in the past I haven't given you my all.
But you were able to forgive and forget,
That's something I'll never get.
I wish I could be that way,
But it just seems so hard to do that today.
Please help me let go of this chore,
I don't want to have to lug it around anymore,
You are the only way I can forgive,
And with you I can forget and continue to live.
If I don't take the time to let go,
I will never ever know,
How it would have been,
If I would have just let go of that one sin.
So, Jesus I now give it all to you,
I know that you will always be true,
Thank you for taking the pain away,
And for brightening up my day.
