The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

I stand alone in my heart

With a jar so full of tears

I let them flow into the sea

Comingling with the years

I let go of my hatred and

I let go of my strife

All I want is peace of mind

I just want to live my life

 

I've forgiven the friends I never had

I've forgiven the ones who made me sad

 

I watch my anger flow away

Bourne on your gentle waves

I thank you for the life I lead

And for my soul you died to save

I sit alone but I'm not sad

I'm forgiven and renewed

My heart is purified by love

I've finally reached what I pursued

 

I've forgiven myself for going astray

I've forgiven the enemies I made

 

This is a testament to truth

And the joy that love can bring

Forgiving is so hard to do

But when you do it's just the thing

To help you up when you are down

I'd fallen so far into the pain

I hope I can portray the love

And how my fighting was not in vain

 

I've forgiven the ones that did me wrong

I've forgiven the dischord in the song

I've forgiven the things you did to me

I've forgiven you, though you won't forgive me.

 

 

Eh, I'm getting all sappy and spiritual lately. Either way, I hope that this left some sort of message for people. Not my best work but I hope it at least bring a little peace to someone.

This is a great piece. I enjoyed it very much.

 

I'm afraid I don't have much time to comment on it, but I wanted to say that that last verse was simply marvelous. Really put together the rest of teh piece, and captures the underlying essence of the poem, and depending on how it's read, can alter the vision ever so slightly. ;)

 

Great work, thanks!
