I want so much to not feel the hurt caused me
I wish I could forgive wholeheartedly
I know I should want to turn the other cheek
But I just can't
I want to let go of the terrible things others have done
I want to see them as people only worn by the flesh
As those who do not fully understand
I want to forget
But I just can't
I want to say that vengeance is not mine
That I will pass on this role
I will let go of those who harm little children
And release them from their debt
But I just can't
This world weighs too much for me to ignore
And I wish I could shed it from my back
I want to see those who willfully cause pain as I see myself
I wish I could do this
But I just can't
Then one day the Sun rose
And a man hurt me intentionally
I want to hate him
I want to wish him bad
I want to not see him as a person
But I just can't
And some others treated me viciously without cause
And I want to equal that in revenge
I want to think of only myself
I want to not see them as lost children
But I just can't
The world around me withers and tests my inner being
It gladly contracts abhorrence to others
While returning home to speak "I love you" to little ears
It delights in witnessing the ache of another at its hand
Yet desperately desires and expects compassion
Thinking easily of only itself above all else
It is a terrible and troublesome experience
And I want to detest it
I wish to condemn every person who has abused me
Who purposely wounds others and delights in the outcome
I want to understand that they deserve the end that awaits them
I want to leave them alone to anguish as they have so many others
I want to let them experience the pain they have imposed
I want to feel nothing for them
I want to be angry enough to hate
I want to...
But the Son has risen in my heart, never again to set
And I just can't
