Forgetting Is Forgiving The I

Where our thoughts are

there we'll live.

Whether it be misery or joy

both of which Life freely gives.

Languish in the mire of the past or steel our resolve

and leave the darkness at our back.

Stand firm in the face of our sins

owning up to all of it

self-aware

Forgiving our shared part in it

regret and death could never win

self-aware

Forgiving our shared part in it

regret and death could never win

A simple laying down of pride could spring a well of new life

but still we stay obstinate

We clench our fists tight

If the past be our only present

then so becomes our future

stained black with resentment

infected from picking at the sutures

Forgiving our shared part in it

regret and death could never win

Where our thoughts are

there we'll live.

Whether it be misery or joy

both of which Life freely gives.

Languish in the mire of the past or steel our resolve

and leave the darkness at our back.
