 The Cup Of Bitterness

I drank from the cup called bitterness
My friends & foe's were witnesses 
Thought this made me strong 
Soon I found I was wrong

Bitterness made me defenceless....


I lived each day seeking sweet revenge

 Never knowing my life was on the fringe
 My goal was to hurt as I was hurt 
All of this I would Avenge
If I could get even I'd be satisfied
After all my reasons were justified 

I felt like dirt...

My spirit had been burnt
Only on me, could I rely 
I could never find happiness
Night after night filled with sleepiness
But my words were the tools
To  turn my enemy's into fools....

I  became a master of cruelness....
 But my path is not wrong
I told myself this, How long?
Yet I could never find peace...
 My inner pain wouldn't cease!
 Is this how I want to live my lifelong??

 
Now, I want out of this mess!
It's brought nothing but misery I confess.
But where do I begin...
I've been wallowing in my sin.
So what is the answer...........Forgiveness
 
Matthew
6:15


But if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive
your trespasses.
