Rising rage overwhelms me
As I think about what they did
I try to keep away from them
I keep my feelings hid
But a fire roars within me
Towards a certain few
How they judged me wrongly
And their actions, once I knew
I feel my fury soaring
As I put words to pain
Stifled emotions evolve
Over and over again
The hurt I feel inside
Is as fresh as the day it dawned
And the love I thought was real
I've well and truly mourned
Innocence and dignity
Got me through that time
I always had a peace of mind
I didn't commit a crime
And to all the people,
Who put me through that pain
I hope you learned enough to know
You wouldn't do that again
Forgiving can be hard to do
It's now time to let go
And bear no more angry scars
I need to let love flow
Today I close the door behind
I forgive, let go and forget
And take from those tough few months
My hardest lessons yet
