Bitter words, bitter feelings
rob us of our peace and joy.
Anger and hate build up inside
making a man into a petulant young boy.
They pout and they snarl
getting themselves all riled up.
Affecting others around them
with their overflowing cup.
A misery sets in
and their days they grow dark.
Life itself takes direction
on which we should not embark.
You look forward to nothing
and you dread the next day.
As now what's accomplished
is you've become your hates prey.
You're hunting yourself
while bringing damage to others.
Forgetting down deep
we're all meant to be brothers.
Do I speak of myself?
Yeah, sure I've done this.
But I finally did realize
I did not like the abyss.
Leaving our anger, our hate
and that bitterness behind.
Forgiveness if practiced
can bring peace to our mind.
Our transformation takes place
in ways that others will see it.
That the changes that came
were to our innermost spirit.
Through forgiveness we find
we can emerge from the pit.
Then our joy will return
and our happiness with it.
