Close that door

Rising rage overwhelms me
As I think about what they did
I try to keep away from them
I keep my feelings to myself

 

But a fire roars within me
Wanting to be free

i think about

How they judged me wrongly

And their actions, once I knew

 

I feel my fury soaring
As I put words to pain
Mixed emotions develop
Over and over again

 

The hurt I feel inside

Is as fresh as the new day 

And the bond 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
