The grudge
12 years ago
General
I wear my grudge like a stone
Waiting to be lifted up again and not dragged down anymore
Though I cannot find the Scarlett Letterman to forgive
To swim in the ocean and let it trans-mutate me
And turn my leaden grudges into gold
Go
Waiting to be lifted up again and not dragged down anymore
Though I cannot find the Scarlett Letterman to forgive
To swim in the ocean and let it trans-mutate me
And turn my leaden grudges into gold
Go

let the breeze flow around and through you, blowing your troubles to another shore.
let the setting sun remind you of the day ending, that you may start anew in the morning.
though anger is strong, it is weak.
let your troubles be cast aside like a leaf floating on the wind, forever lost in freedom.
let the gold that is your grudge be forged by your forgiveness into a splendid goblet, fit for kings.
let it then be given away, that it be lost by forgetfulness to the sins of the foes.
be free. forgive, but remember the reason you forgave, that it never need happen again.
live free of regrets, free of the "should have"s, the "if only"s.
be free to say "i forgive you of the wrongs committed", to give those who have wronged you peace in knowing you hold nothing against them.
give them forgiveness, for those who can accept it are they that be true friends.
As those with nothing left at a long road may yet release their burdens
For those the dance with the loss of regret may forget how sharp the blade is on which they dance
To forget that painful kiss is to merely jump upon the edge
Absolution is easily said, yet the body still bears the scars, to reflect upon every day
As I seek to forgive, yet I cannot forgive myself, for I do not know my sins that need atonement
Perhaps the answer is time, not words
As I should seek not to harbor resentment into my age, yet it still lingers
we all carry our boulders, some heavy, some light.
we are all different, and in that difference, identical.
accepting that we are all identical in that we are different is true forgiveness.
truer words have never been spoken after it was said "an eye fot an eye leaves the whole world blind."
see beyond the surface, for it will be underneath that you will truly know who someone is.
