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.
