Forgive and Forget

Ooh … Aah … Ouch

I shout but all in vain.

The pain within me never gives up;

And hurt has its own attitude.

The moment I decide to forgive and forget;

Pain plays malice and hurt gets in the way.

Pain makes me insane and hurt always present to alert; both always on rock and roll.

Poor me reduced to a burnt coal .

But hey listen , I am the one who’s bruised .

Pain and hurt stop inviting me to unwanted cruise.

There is no pleasure in it ; let me reassure you.

Now that I have chosen to forgive and forget ;

There is no place for pain and hurt to now make your nest.

Fly away pain; fly away hurt . And bother me no more. I am ready to surrender.

With time I realized maybe pain , hurt and me were destined to meet . My karmas wanted to reach me out through pain and hurt .

Pain and hurt ; Oh my God you are so heavy.

You weigh on me and make me breathless. Now I want to breathe .

I learnt my lesson; now I take a stand for myself .

I choose to forgive and forget ; not because the people who parked this pain and hurt on my doorstep were right .And me too equally wrong doing injustice to myself by clinging to pain and hurt for so long .

I decide to forgive and forget because the burden was too heavy .

If I had continued to carry this pain and hurt;

They would have made me fall.

Instead I chose to let this pain and hurt fall .

I choose to rise again .

Pain and hurt are always bitter and make one fritter

Forgive and Forget always better and the one who wears them always sparkle and glitter.
