Fist through a wall - foot through a door
Just another day for me to abhor
There's a wall in my plan for you
today
There's a door with your name where it lay
Years of hateful thoughts will get you back
I'll be at peace soon
You
think you're punishing me by your anger
But it's you serving the jail sentence
Heart turned to stone suffering all
alone
Calibrating how hatred can sink the power of forgiveness
Anger needs a place to be buried
Anger needs a process for its
gravestone
The time has come to speak of many things
Not shoes and ships and sealing wax not cabbages and Kings
But the way
your raging words and actions
Gouge a monumental chasm between us
If I could only help you to see what I see
As you push away
the ones who love you
Your world is closing in on you
The once many friends become the reluctant few
And when the few that
remain choose rather to abstain
You'll be left alone with all the pain
And you'll ponder at length how a day turned a year
And
the years rolled along till nobody was near
Broken before the One who understands
That it's hard to let go of familiar
land
But you've got to leave the safe ground behind
A better place is waiting where there's peace of mind
Now that you've
come to realize
That chronic anger has a steep price
Taking more than you can afford to give
Stealing the joy that you need to
live
