The Cost of Not Forgiving

The cost of not forgiving

Is one spoonful of resenting

Just one.. no more and no less

But you take one spoonful

For each person that you detest

It’s just one spoonful though

It’s really not that much

But there are some hidden additives

That we really should discuss

With resentment comes fear

And fear hardens the heart

It still beats just fine

But it struggles with the loving part

With resentment comes anxiety

You won’t ever feel totally at ease

You can still have a lot of fun

But the quiet will steal your peace

With resentment comes anger

You’ll probably get offended often

Just avoid all of those who disagree with you

And you shouldn’t have a problem

With resentment comes negativity

And that shit will give you cancer

But they have great medicine now

So your doctor will have an answer

With resentment comes judgement

And judgement honestly feels great

It makes you believe that you know better

But your friends might need some space

If these side effects work for you

Then darling open wide

Resentment tastes like candy

But it does rot your insides

If you’ve been swallowing resentment

For a long time now

One heavy dose of forgiveness

Will cure you from the inside out
