Hatreds Fetters

Hatreds Fetters

I sit on this couch and wonder why
I feel so helpless alone to try
To sort out my feelings, and my life
Wondering how i caused so much strife
Hurting those that I love the most
Tying them up to my whipping post
And letting my word cut like a knife
I didnt know that this was life
Being hurt and hurting back
Ive started down a one way track
The blocks of bitterness begin to grow
From words of anger, from those I know
Their words are like the frost of winter
Im not one to be a quitter
Now Im first i donte hesitate
To let out bitter words of hate
Im like a fighter in the ring
Throwing punches at the ding
Hoping that I'll win this round
My burning fury unleashed, unbound
Even though i win this fight
Somehow it doesnt feel right
Once again Im the loser
Once again Im the abuser
To live in silence would be better
Then to live in Hatreds Fetters
I want to end this viscious circle
This is not a dress rehearsal
This is real life I live
With whats left I will give
A simple word of gentle kindeness
A word that comes from momentary blindness
Overlooking stinging darts
Looking past them to your hearts
Seeing beauty deep within
i will overlook your sin
Knowing that you are just like me
Trying to find a way to be free
