ADD TO MY FAVORITES
with shattered pieces all around,
the inner pain so burdensome
as tears from inner wounds abound.
There always is a piece of me
that’s broken and it needs to heal,
yet something seems to hold me back,
and it’s as if the pain is sealed.
I know what I should do and yet
a part of me keeps hanging on.
I feel my anger’s justified
for ways my heart’s been spat upon.
Admit I struggle to forgive,
I find it hard to let things go,
and then I ruminate instead
on many things that hurt me so.
This doesn’t serve me well, I know,
and isn’t what God wants for me.
He’d rather I give all to Him
so I can from the hurts be free.
Deep down I know I really want
to be in line with God, have peace,
to breathe, experience the ease
that comes when anger, grudges cease.
It’s time for me to do what’s right,
to pray, forgive, let go, release,
and trust the Lord will heal my heart,
for it’s the only way to peace.
