Goodbye Hatred, by bedazzled, by Thoughtless Encounters Subscribe to rss feed for Thoughtless Encounters

Of all my anger and my hatred,
I'm learning to let go,
I'm releasing all that bitterness even if I've been too
slow,

You'll always be a part of my life,
And now I've accepted that,
I don't wince anymore with knowing you are back,

I see the good times fondly now,
Without that sharp regret,
The shadows in my past I'm finally starting to forget,

It feels so much better,
When you learn how to forgive,
Because seething with dark anger is no right way to live,

It was my fault too,
So you don't deserve all of the blame,
Now I don't have to cringe at every mention of your name,

It's nice to have fun again,
That anger was a waste,
I like it so much better without that sour aftertaste,

Whenever I was reminded,
I would feel a burning pain,
But today I smiled as I walked on and that feeling never
came,
 
Focus on the times before,
Everything went wrong,
Reliving bad times will weaken you but good ones will make
you strong,

Those are the times that matter most,
So that happiness will last,
I'm moving up and walking on from the darkness in my past,

Just remember one true thing,
Love can make you feel so tall,
But the higher your heart flies the further it has to
fall.
