Please don't get me bitter. <br />Please don't let it start. <br />I am a vessel of love, <br />This I know. <br />But some remnants on my heart... <br />I wish from me depart. <br />I pray to God... <br />'Don't let me sit. <br />Not with this bitterness, <br />Stirring to whip me into a fit! <br />God, I asked to get over this! <br />With a forgiveness... <br />That has not forgotten. <br />I want this emotion from me to lift! <br />But I am reminded... <br />I simply can not quit! <br />A forgiveness I have done. <br />But I can not seem to forget! <br />I can not let it go. <br />Why do I invite it to revisit? ' <br /> <br />~WELL... <br />THAT AIN'T FORGIVENESS, OKAY? <br />SO DON'T BOTHER ME AGAIN, <br />WITH THIS BITTERNESS Shhhhh... <br />NONSENSE! ~ <br /> <br />Father... <br />You make it so hard. <br />I'll do the best I can. <br /> <br />~NO! UH-UH! <br />YOU DO! <br />YOU MAKE THAT TRIFLING STUFF HARD. <br />YOU JUST HAVE A WISH TO KEEP PETTY! ~<br /><br />Lawrence S.
