SEARCHING FOR WORDS

I wrote a poem several years ago... Just wanted to share.

LET IT GO

No one is saying you're wrong to feel the way you do
To not feel a single thing at all, is worse for you
But look at the hours you lament
Wondering where your time and effort went

Release all the people who've hurt you so
The pain that you're suffering they'll never know
Even if you flee, run, or walk away
The scars that you're covering grow day by day

Let it go
Please let it go
Before bitterness sets in, just let it go
Just let it go
Please, let it go
There's freedom indeed
Just tell the Lord what He already knows
There's a bright side somewhere
To ease your journey there, just let it go

When you rehearse each and every offense
And wear like a badge the years you have spent
Angry inside and seeking the day
When all who have harmed you are suddenly swept away
The current that sweeps them will drown you first
The life you could have lived yields no fruit, and worst of all
The Father who so cares and showed His love so true
Is powerless to offer forgiveness to you

So, let it go
Please let it go
before bitterness sets in, just let it go
Just let it go
Please let it go
There's freedom indeed
Just tell the Lord what He already knows
There's a bright side somewhere
To ease your journey there, just let it go.
