let it out slow

zzzzforgive

Resentment rots your innards
And desiccates your soul
Rooting for destruction
Takes a mighty toll

Take a deep breath
And let it out slow
Think about your anger
And try and let go

Hatred is a monster
That you don’t have to feed
It cuts in both directions
And makes the hater bleed

Take a deep breath
And let it out slow
Think about your anger
And try and let go

Are you feeling jealous?
Is your life incomplete?
Are you searching for a scapegoat
In everyone you meet?

Take a deep breath
And let it out slow
Think about your anger
And try and let go

Resentment is a poison
Like the twelve-steppers say
Resist its lethal logic
And pour it down the drain

Take a deep breath
And let it out slow
Think about your anger
And try and let go
